There is no physical challenge that 310 athletes won’t accept. So when 310 Running’s Head Coach declared that he could beat his athletes up the 1,776 steps to the top of the CN Tower, it was on.
On Sunday April 26, a team of 310 Running athletes, parents & one coach (with more bravado than brains) will race to the top of the CN Tower in the 25th Anniversary Canada Life CN Tower Climb in support of the World Wildlife Fund.
