Strand’s stairway to Kilimanjaro for Sport Relief

On Friday 19th March, ‘Strand’s Stairway to Kilimanjaro’ will see staff at London’s the Strand Palace Hotel tackling their own ‘Mount Kilimanjaro’ as part of Sport Relief, by climbing its central staircase to the equivalent of 19340 feet – the height of the infamous mountain.

The art deco staircase winds its way up 9 floors and has 153 steps, meaning staff will need to walk the stairs 211 times, bringing the total number of steps to 32,283.

“We took our inspiration from last year’s Mount Kilimanjaro celebrity climb;” Comments David MacRae, General Manager for Strand Palace Hotel. “Hopefully we will raise a significant amount of money for Sport Relief and I hope guests and visitors to the hotel will pop by to cheer the staff on and help support the cause.”
