The International Vertical Marathon Series is back in Guangzhou this year with five races to enjoy. The second race of the series will take place on July 10 at the R&F New World Center

The event is a great chance to challenge yourself to run 233 meters up a building and also doubles as an opportunity to catch the world-renowned Blue Man Group – who will perform live at the race.
