Oderturmlauf

Oderturmlauf is a tower stair race held at the historic Oderturm in Frankfurt an der Oder and is run as part of the Deutscher Towerrunning Cup. The race covers the full ascent of the tower, comprising 511 Stufen, and offers a compact but intense competitive format that attracts local and cup competitors. The event is notable for its venue within a landmark tower, close spectator viewing and the brevity and intensity of the climb which makes it accessible to a wide range of runners. Participants benefit from a distinct urban challenge and the opportunity to compete in the national towerrunning series.
