Event Information

The fun starts for Climb for a Smile in the lobby of the Bankwest Tower corner of William Street and St Georges Terrace from 8.30 am Sunday
5 October 2008.

Before that you will have registered online before Monday 29 September 2008 and paid the very reasonable entry fee of:
$30 – Adult Entry
$25 – Age 15–17 Entry
$20 – Age 12 to 14 Entry (sorry no climbers under 12)
$20 – Step Into Life Bulk Registration

This fee is to cover all the costs associated with staging the climb – so to really put a smile on a kid’s face we are asking you to also fundraise for our three very worthwhile major Rotary Projects. This can be easily done online by opening a fundraising page and giving your sponsors access. You can even link this page to your local Rotary club. There is a prize for the individual and team raising the most sponsorship so go for it!

The week of the event we will email you your registration time and estimated start time.

Before that we hope you have been putting in a bit of training, but if not - don’t worry as this climb can be done by anyone with a bit of determination (and a few rests on the way up!)

Entry to the lobby will be though the doors facing onto St Georges Terrace and you will be guided to the registration desk where you will receive your race number and timing transponder.

You can then prepare yourself, stretch out in the warm up area, drop of any bags or coats in the property area and send up a quick prayer if you need to!

We will try our best to get you climbing with your friends and family, with climbers and teams from the same Rotary Club, Fitness Club or Corporate Group being started around the same time.

You will be called into the waiting area in groups of eight about 10 minutes before you head up the stairs and get your instructions on the climb guidelines. We will also check you have the correct footwear for the climb. Correct footwear is essential!

Then you can take on the Tower however you want, it’s a fun event so dress up if you like, stroll, jog or sing your way up the 50 flights or 1042 stairs to the top of this unique building and get your picture taken on the balcony with million dollar views. If you need a breather on the way there will be rest floors for you to take a break on.

You will then return to the lobby by service lift and be free to collect you race bag from our sponsors, have a drink, check out your time on the electronic scoreboard, enjoy the entertainment and browse the information on the Rotary Projects. And take time to Smile because you will have completed the challenge and you will have contributed to saving and changing lives in Western Australia, our neighboring countries and throughout the world.

Individual and team prize presentations will take place on stage in the lobby.
