Nivy Tower Run 2026

Nivy Tower Run sends runners up Nivy Tower in Bratislava-Ružinov instead of along a road course. It is a vertical stair race in the Nivy business and administrative district, with the start set for late morning and separate Open men’s and Open women’s categories. The climb is short on distance but hard on legs: about 400 meters of racing, 28 floors, 650 steps, and 109 meters of elevation gain inside one of Bratislava’s tallest modern buildings. Police officers, firefighters, and rescuers also appear in the PHZ category, and the field is capped at 300 runners, so it feels more like a focused stair-climb challenge than a mass city run.
