The top two contenders with the fastest stair-climbing times from the day’s first race will face off in a head-to-head challenge up another 50 flights for the chance to win a $5,000 cash prize.
First Responders
The final and third race of the day is a special challenge featuring the leading first responder competitors – one from the Boston Police Department and one from the Boston Fire Department – for a final showdown and chance to win a $10,000 donation to be directed towards community outreach programs or upgrades to their precinct/ladder fitness facilities.
Projection-mapping in real-time will be featured on the side of Prudential Tower during this final race of the day. Under Armour will light up the Boston cityscape with the race status of these top two first responder competitors.
WHERE: Competitors will begin at the Under Armour Brand House (800 Boylston Street) and finish at the top of the Prudential Tower, the Skywalk Observatory.
