Breizh Twin Towers Race 2027

The Breizh Twin Towers Race is an exclusive stair climbing competition for firefighters only, offering participants the chance to showcase their physical prowess and teamwork. Set against the backdrop of Brest's iconic "Horizons" tower, this international event challenges teams to ascend 35 floors via a rigorous staircase course. Competitors begin on the city square, making their way down into the second basement level where they pick up two fire hoses before embarking upon the grueling climb upwards. The race is limited to just 400 pairs of firefighters from across various professional backgrounds and age groups over 18 years old who are currently active in operational roles and meet medical fitness standards.
The course winds through dark, winding stairwells, culminating at the finish line on the 31st floor where participants must cross with their full firefighting gear including air tanks strapped to their backs. This high-stakes competition not only tests endurance but also highlights camaraderie as teams push each other towards victory while adhering strictly to safety protocols and regulations laid out by organizers.
This event is open to both male, female, and mixed-gender firefighter pairs aiming to prove themselves in this unique sporting challenge set amidst the bustling cityscape of Brest.
