One of the tallest indoor stair climbs in the world will be held up the soaring Willis Tower in Chicago on Sunday, November 3, 2024. SkyRise Chicago, a Towerrunning 80 event will see athletes climb 2,159 stairs and to finish at SkyDeck Chicago on the 103rd floor. Due to the starting area on level -2 there are 105 stories to climb.

Successful climbers have access to The Ledge, four glass-bottomed, enclosed balconies that extend 4.3 feet to the west, providing unobstructed views—1,353 feet straight down—over Wacker Drive and the Chicago River.

Main goal of Sky Rise Chicago is to support Shirley Ryan Ability Lab which is a global leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation for adults and children with the most severe, complex conditions — from traumatic brain and spinal cord injury to stroke, amputation and cancer-related impairment.

SkyRise Chicago is pleased to announce free registration for 30 athletes from Towerrunning USA and for 10 international athletes registered by TWA.
