RNLI Tower Run 2026

RNLI Tower Run 2026

The RNLI Tower Run is London’s biggest stair climb challenge, with runners tackling over 1,400 steps whilst raising money to support the RNLI's lifesaving work in London and along the UK coastline.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives around the UK for over 200 years. 

Every pound and penny raised from the RNLI Tower Run will go towards equipping our volunteer lifeboat crews with the essential training, kit, boats and materials required to continue our lifesaving mission for years to come.

My Updates

I’ve seen first hand how important the RNLI are

Tuesday 20th Oct
On Saturday I’ll be attempting to set a new course record at the RNLI tower run - for the number of assents of the 58 floor, 22 Bishopsgate.

Last year I did the event (which is expertly organised by my mate @Adam Clarke) in around 11 minutes.

Not bad for a first attempt, he said…

So, I said how many times can you do this?

He said as many times you like…

So I said, what was the most number of accents at the event?

That number was 7.

So. This weekend, I’m going to attempt the 58 floor accent of 22 Bishopsgate, 8 times or a stretch goal of 9 times (he's given me a wrist band for every wave).

So, if you’d like to pledge a donation, that will be most welcome.

I'd also like to add that, the RNLI is not a political organisation, and as someone that has lived by the sea for the last 10 years, I've seen firsthand the importance of supporting this volunteer led charity
