Start your Friday off with a bang and do something incredible before breakfast this summer by taking part in the Mayfair Park and Tower Race. The Challenge is to raise a further £20,000 to fund "Galvin's Chance", an inspirational into work programme leading to an apprenticeship, college programme or sustainable employment. Initiated by Galvin at Windows, the programme targets disadvantaged young people aged 18-24 not in education, employment or formal training and grants them the opportunity and training for a front of house career in the most prestigious hotels in London.  

We are looking for 120 committed individuals, motivated by the challenge to sign up and take part in this unique race to be held on Friday July 8th; and it is a challenge. Registration opens at 7am with the race starting at 8am in Hyde Park. Runners need to register prior to the race day to be able to compete.

Starting at the bandstand in Hyde Park, runners will circuit the 4.5 kilometres around the Serpentine through the underpass on Park Lane and entering into the reception of the iconic London Hilton on Park Lane. There guests and on-lookers will cheer on the challengers before they attempt to scale the dizzying 28 floors and 475 steps towards the VIP reception committee and welcome Pommery breakfast at Galvin's at Windows.

Each competitor ready to rise to the challenge (no pun intended) will pay an entry fee of £20 and commit to raising a minimum of £250 through securing sponsorshipl. All entrants will receive a race t-shirt and a Pommery champagne breakfast at Galvin at Windows.

All funds raised will be channelled through Hilton in the Community Foundation to exclusively fund the Galvin's Chance Project.

There will be special prizes for winners and runners up, while all runners will be awarded commemorative medals.
