They usually do a staggered start, I believe. Probably takes all day.
I've always wanted to do one of these, actually. But I don't think my knees would be terribly happy afterwards. Like, for a few years.

I start training for this today. It is a "race" up a 38 story building in downtown Cleveland (Erieview Tower); 646 stairs; 1500+ people. Should be uber fun! Tackle the Tower! |

I take the express elevator. S, eriouslythough, 1500 people in a stairwell? How is that safe or competitive? You're talking shoulder to shoulder, there, if there's any kind of pack at all... |

Stairs are a ****' *****! I can do 5 minutes @ 78 stairs per minute for a total of 390 + the 20 or so steps it took me to figure out how the damn machine worked = ~410 out of 646 needed. |

I could run up maybe 3 flights, then I would need CPR, I need flat surfaces... |

Lol yes, I did bad but finished. I sprinted up the first 15 flights and got dizzy so I stopped for a minute and had to put my head between my knees. Highlight of the day, old lady repeatedly asking my friends, "Is he ok? Should we get the EMTs?" |

Haha! Sounds like you had a great time. Well, at least in retrospect, I'm sure. |

Good luck Dash! I learned: Your lungs can HURT, not ache, not burn, but HURT. |
