SkyPoint Sea to Sky Q1 Stair Challenge 2026

Inside the Q1 building, this is a stair race in the most direct sense: you start at ground level and climb the internal stairwell until you emerge at SkyPoint Observation Deck. The SkyPoint Sea to Sky Q1 Stair Challenge has a 9-year history and a clear local purpose, raising money for mental health rather than presenting itself as a glossy road race. Expect your legs and lungs to start protesting early as the course ascends through 77 floors and 1,331 steps of indoor stairs. Experienced athletes will pursue fast times, beginners can still participate with respect for the climb, and the reward is those spectacular 360-degree views over the coast and hinterland that make every burning step worthwhile.
