Tower Running UK

Soh Wai Ching continues his American tower running tour this Saturday (2 April) as he heads to the Three Allen Center in Houston for the Big Climb.

It will be the third race in seven days for the Malaysian, following his record-breaking wins last weekend at Big Climb Dallas and Big Climb Seattle.

Saturday will be the fourth edition of the Big Climb Houston, and the action will be returning to the 50-floor Three Allen Center, after the 2019 and 2020 editions of the event were moved to 1600 Smith Street.

The inaugural Big Climb Houston was held in 2018 at Three Allen Center, when US tower runner and rower Harrison Kieffer reached the building’s rooftop in the fastest time of 6:42.

Soh will be hotly tipped to outdo that time as he aims to chalk up an 18th consecutive tower run victory.
