The Oxfam TowerRun, which takes place annually at the Macau Tower – the tallest building in the city, is a fundraising sports event that Oxfam in Macau has organised since 2014. The event is widely supported by athletes from Hong Kong and Macau and is celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. Participants will take up the challenge of running up 1,298 steps from the ground floor of the tower to the adventure deck on the 61st floor. Not only will they be pushing themselves to achieve their personal best, they will also be raising funds for Oxfam's poverty alleviation and development projects, enabling the education and mental health development of left-behind children in Mainland China. 

Oxfam is committed to making the Oxfam TowerRun a major tourism and sports event in Macau, becoming the only internationally- recognised tower running event in the city, and an officially recognised 120-point event by the Towerrunning World Association.

Event Information 2024

On 20 October 2024, Oxfam will organise the Oxfam TowerRun 2024 at Macau Tower.

The event includes individual and team relay challenges. Upon raising the minimum donation amount, participants can take part in the individual challenge, or join the team relay through their company or organisation. Not only will they be pushing themselves to achieve their personal best, they will also be raising funds for Oxfam's poverty alleviation and development projects, enabling the education and health development of left-behind children in Mainland China. This year, we have added the Leader’s Run and student discount categories, welcoming runners from all walks of life to challenge themselves.
