History
The event was initiated in 2018, to drive community spirit and raise charitable donations, whilst celebrating the infamous stairs of King Edward's Bay.
Last year, a total of 2,249 loops were completed covering a staggering 898 miles and climbing 292,370 stairs. This gave a total elevation ran up the stairs of 213,655 feet.
We raised in excess of £7,000 in 2023 and aim to beat that in 2024!
With the exception of the Covid 19 year, we have continued the event every year. We are proud to raise money for the TVLB as well as raising awareness about the charity.
