Vertical Rush is a uniquely demanding and exciting challenge in aid of Shelter. Soon returning for the third triumphant time in London, and premiering in Liverpool this year, this is your chance to scale the dizzy heights of two of the UK’s tallest towers.

You can compete as an individual or as part of a team, and our precise chip-timing will show who has come out on top.

“As a serious and committed runner it was great to do something different (I usually compete in ultra events)! Even better was to get 9 work colleagues interested (the majority who were not ‘sporty’) and to share their successful completion of a terrific experience.”
Kevin Marshall

“I signed up for Vertical Rush at the last minute and was not very fit at all, so I was concerned but I really wanted to do it. It was really hard but amazing! I couldn’t run all the way to the top but I made it in 14 minutes 6 seconds. I have raised about £200 so far and want to do it again!”
