For three years, our fabulous fundraisers have taken on every step to get to the top of The Gherkin. We’re thrilled to announce that for the fourth year of The MS-UK Tower Walk, we’re taking our tower climbing challenge to Tower 42, one of London’s most iconic and recognisable landmarks.
If you’re looking for your next unforgettable challenge, this could be the one for you. Join MS-UK and power the tower as we climb Tower 42 for the first ever time.
Location Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street – London – EC2N 1HQ
Date Sunday 04 October 2026
Minimum fundraising commitment £250 per person
Registration fee £25
This powerful challenge was created to inspire and empower – welcoming people living with MS, their family and friends, and supporters who want to take on something truly special in the heart of the capital.
On the day of the event, you’ll receive a race pack containing your participant number and timing chip. This will allow you to receive your climb time instantly upon reaching the top.
Every person that signs up will receive an MS-UK t-shirt to wear during their challenge, and will be rewarded with an exclusive medal once their climb is conquered!

Our climb at Tower 42 is the second in our series, following three amazing years climbing The Gherkin! Get your Tower 42 medal this year and continue your tower climbing journey with MS-UK.
As such a small charity, we couldn’t run the event without our fabulous team of volunteers. We need your help!

Anyone over the age of 16 can take part. If you are under 18 you must be climbing alongside someone over the age of 18.
You will be able to invite up to 2 guests to wait at the top of Tower 42 for you, where they will be able to celebrate you as you complete the climb and take in the unrivalled views of the city of London.
