The exhilarating event combines a tower run up 42 floors of The Cheesegrater (aka, Leadenhall Building), and then participants can either abseil back down the outside of the building, or ride a zip-wire over to the Gherkin (aka, 30 St Mary Axe).

The challenge is in aid of the not-for-profit event organised by Tommy’s, a pregnancy and baby-loss charity with a goal to raise £1 million for Tommy’s and other charities.

If you want to take part then you’ll need to secure a place with one of the charity partners before you start fundraising.

Once you start fundraising, a target will be set depending on the challenge you choose.

Event spaces are limited so you’ll need to pre-register to see your chances of getting a spot.

The Skyscraper Challenge takes place on September 9 & 10 2023.
