And if we told you that for once you won't be taking the elevator, what would you say? ๐
This is the new challenge we offer you with the Metropolitan Sky Run! Yes, at first glance, it may seem like a slightly masochistic event, but it's also an opportunity to test your athletic abilities in a short but very intense effort! ๐ค So, want to know more? First, the setting will surely win you over ๐โโ๏ธ, yes, imagine yourself in the fabulous city of Barcelona in Spain ๐ช๐ธ, right in the month of October! Ah, the end of the sunny days ๐, nothing better to enjoy one last outdoor challenge! ๐ By the way, to get into the details, the challenge is to climb 569 steps, across 29 floors, and 105 mD+ ๐คฏ. And all that running, of course! ๐โโ๏ธ Great novelty for 2025, you'll have the possibility to participate in this crazy race, as a team! ๐ฏโโ๏ธ For that, you'll need at least 3 teammates as crazy as you ๐คช, there will be no limit on the number of participants in the team, but only the top 3 times will be counted! ๐ฅ Well, at the moment you might not notice, but the climb offers a 360-degree view of the entire city! ๐ Do you think you'll be able to see the Sagrada Famรญlia? ๐ฐ This incredible basilica imagined by the architect Antoni Gaudรญ! ๐จโ๐จ Construction began in 1882 and it's still not completed! ๐ช Anyway, once you reach the top of the famous Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower, it will be time to enjoy this extraordinary panorama ๐.
Given that this event is quite original, its organization matches it ๐ค. For example, during your registration, you'll be able to choose your start time โฐ. Scheduled between 9 AM and 1 PM, it's up to you to decide what time works best for you! Cherry on top ๐, you can also specify the music of your choice ๐ถ which will be played when you're in the starting-blocks! ๐ We know you want to choose "Eye of the Tiger" ๐ฏ to be in theme and to have the strength of Rocky Balboa with you! ๐ฅ Awaken the Italian Spanish stallion within you! ๐ซต
Once you've finished torturing your legs ๐ฆต, you'll deserve a little leisure break! Just strolling around Barcelona is already a very pleasant activity ๐, but you might not enjoy walking miles with all the soreness you'll have! ๐ฆฟ Instead, cultural activities are a must! ๐ผ๏ธ To start with, if you liked (even if only from a distance) the architecture of the Sagrada Famรญlia, then you should check out other works by the artist Gaudรญ! ๐จ The Casa Batllรณ with its ceramic facade ๐ต will surely delight you; such buildings, you probably haven't seen many in your life! ๐ As for museums, there's one that presents and traces the life of the famous painter Pablo Picasso! ๐จ But if you're more drawn to indulgence, you can also visit the Chocolate Museum! ๐ซ For those who leave there with chocolate bars in their pockets, a little break is in order! ๐บ And for that, there's nothing better than dipping your feet in the water at Barceloneta Beach ๐๏ธ (in May, you're not likely to dip much more than your feet)! ๐ฆถ
What is certain is that after the Metropolitan Sky Run, you'll never take the elevator again! ๐ค
