Vienna (Austria), Saturday 1 October 2011
This tower running event in Vienna takes place in Austria's tallest building, the 171-metre-high Millennium Tower, completed in 1999.
The start is in the "Millennium City" shopping and entertainment centre. The finish line is on the tower's outdoor terrace on the 48th floor.
Runners are let off the start in 10 seconds intervals.
Competitors can choose to run up the tower once ("Millennium Tower Run-Up Light", 843 steps) or three times ("Millennium Tower Run-Up Extreme", 2529 steps).
The second run of the extreme version starts 10 minutes after the last runner has completed the first run. Then, the fastest finisher starts first, and the slowest starts last.
