The climb STARTS HERE
Hello, World!
All participants must bring a copy of ID with them to the climb. You will not be able to take part on the day if you do not have your ID.
When you arrive please follow directions to the registration desk within the lobby of One Canada Square and present your ID.
If you have requested to collect your race pack on the day, please arrive 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to your wave start time. If you have chosen for your race pack to be posted, please arrive 30 - 45 minutes prior to your wave start time.
All participants will receive an email a week prior to the event with everything you need to know before your climb.
Supporters can cheer you off from the lobby where we'll have a bag drop and warm up area. Pedler and Supernatural Canary Wharf (conveniently located in the One Canada Square building) are opening exclusively for us on the day. The perfect place to grab drinks, coffees and snacks beforehand and an amazing space for your friends and family to relax whilst you tackle the climb!
Your climb will take approximately 30 minutes, then celebrate your achievement with friends and family with added value benefits including discounts on activities, shopping and food and drink across Canary Wharf.
