At the age of 12, Alain Robert scaled 8 floors to enter a window into his home after forgetting his keys. A top ranked solo-climber, Robert climbed his first skyscraper in Chicago in 1994. Collecting money for charity with each climb; “Spiderman” (as he is known) has scaled some of the tallest buildings in the world (like the twin towers in Kuala Lumpar). Don’t look down.

Luckily for us, Bill McDermott put together World Run Day. Lace ’em, if ya got ’em.
