Vertigo Charity Run at the Légende Tower on Thursday, May 21, 2026
If someone told you that you could do a good deed by climbing the 822 steps of the Légende Tower, would you believe it? Yet that’s exactly the challenge the NGO Play International is setting for you with its charity run, Vertigo, on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. A race whose proceeds help fund sports-based education programs in countries around the world.
Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or simply want to support a good cause, the Vertigo Charity Run is the perfect opportunity. Here’s a little something to get you excited!
Vertigo, the Dizzying One
This is France’s first vertical charity race, and its goal is simple: to climb each of the 822 steps of the Légende Tower as quickly as possible. Whether you’re competing solo or as a team, push your limits and reach the tower’s rooftop, 165 meters high, to enjoy a breathtaking view!
If you’re participating solo, you have no choice—you’ll have to climb all 40 floors!
For companies, there are two options: the 40-floor solo climb, or a 4-person team relay, in which each participant climbs 10 to 20 floors.
Before, after, and even during the event for spectators, a Vertigo Village will offer a sporty and community-minded after-work gathering! There you’ll find a charity bar, music from DJ sets, massages, sports and recreational activities (Molkky, ping pong, etc.), as well as networking spaces. The highlight of the event: this is also where the awards ceremony will take place.
All for Play International
The NGO Play International is organizing this charity run to raise funds for its education programs through sports and play. The organization operates in several countries around the world where access to education is more challenging, such as Senegal, Burundi, and the Balkans. Taking part in this race allows you to engage in a sporting activity that promotes team building, while supporting a charitable project dedicated to education.
