One Towerrunner, Many Stories

Towerrunner Soh Wai Ching had an excellent 2021 winning the 2021 Empire State Building race, a feat that made him the second best towerrunner in the world. At that race, he scaled the 86-story mega New York structure - which is over a 1500 steps - in exactly 10 minutes 46 seconds. With a mission of bringing this niche sport to the masses, the co-founder of the Towerruning Association of Malaysia joins us on the program.
