Tower Run 2025

RNLI Tower Run 2025

The RNLI Tower Run is London’s biggest stair climb challenge, with runners tackling over 1400 steps whilst raising money to support the RNLIs 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.

5 sleeps to go!

Monday 20th Oct
5 sleeps to go. Training has actually been OK over the last few weeks, though I think I might give the stepper in the gym a miss for a few weeks after next weekend. Not promising any blistering times but a slow trudge, up a tower, for a great cause and to see a great view.
Time in 2023 - 23mins 14 secs
Time in 2024 - 21mins 28 secs
Time in 2025 - ??

Running it again!

Sunday 14th Sep
The 2025 RNLI Tower Run will be my 3rd time running up 22 Bishop’s Gate and it’s c.1,500 steps for this great charity and this year I’ll be joined by Richard and my good friend Sarah.

The RNLI is a charity close to my heart as someone who loves the outdoors and being on the water. This vital voluntary service saves lives and relies on charitable funding to survive so if you can, please sponsor me in my crazy endeavours.

Thank you to my Sponsors
