After a hiatus of over a decade, the Tower Run Basel is set to make a spectacular comeback on 30 May 2026 – at the Messeturm, one of Switzerland’s tallest buildings! Participants can expect a 105-metre elevation gain, 31 floors and 542 steps – a vertical sprint that demands strength, endurance and mental toughness. Whether you’re an ambitious individual runner, a fire brigade team in full kit or a stair-running novice: Tower Run Basel is open to anyone who wants to take on the challenge.

The race is part of the Towerrunning World Series and therefore counts towards the international rankings. Alongside the sporting achievement, the focus is on fun and the unique atmosphere. Be there when Basel runs skywards again – and secure your place via Datasport!
