Tower Run 2025

RNLI Tower Run 2025

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.

I did it!

Saturday 25th Oct
Well.... that was hard work...  harder than I expected,   but i got up there quicker than I expected.  Just over 18 mins!

Thanks to everyones support and well wishes I carried on and got the best time i could.   But I was still slower than some guys doing it in full rescue uniforms!   Amazing!   

I am so proud of the money my run made towards such a worthy cause.   Thank you all for your help and support!

Ok,   so it's happening tomorrow.   How can it be tomorrow already!  

Right now I am wishing I did more runs and climbed more stairs!   That being said,  I am fitter now than I have ever been..... well in the last 10 years or so anyway.  Thanks for all the motivating throgh good wishes and sponsorship to geep getting out there,  it was really helped! 

With the nights closing in and other distractions of life,  I am looking forward to not going for a run for a while!

Thanks again for all the support,  I will.let you know how I get on!

Here’s a joke to keep you smiling all the way to the top: What do you call a patronising criminal going down a staircase? A condescending con descending. Good luck!
