Looking for a different kind of hill work? Maybe indoors? Then you might be interested in Climb MS: Power Up the Tower on March 6 in Winston-Salem. It’s a chip-timed climb up 30 flights of stairs in Winston Tower. That’s right—30 flights of stairs. We don’t know how that translates to miles, but we do know that it means a mighty workout for your quads, lungs, and heart! Full info is at ClimbMSTriad.org.

Coincidentally, right next door to Winston Tower is the Reynolds Building (at left in the photo), which is a smaller version of the Empire State Building—the location of the New York Road Runners Empire State Run-Up. That one’s 86 flights, so consider the Winston your warm-up.
