Our Story

SCA Founders Chris Price & Adam Ryan

SCA continues to evolve.

 

Stair Climbing Australia Inc. is the peak body for stair racing in Australia.

 

Welcome to Stair Climbing Australia (SCA), a thriving community dedicated to the fitness activity, Stair Climbing and the exhilarating sport of Tower Running. Born out of the shared passion of personal trainers Adam Ryan and Chris Price in 2014, SCA underwent a brief hibernation until mid-2018 when a triumphant trio, comprising world-class athlete Alice McNamara, elite racer Jason Williams, and passionate enthusiast Maria Pia Piemontese, breathed new life into the organisation.

Today, SCA stands proudly as a formal association, actively cultivating the growth of Stair Climbing and Tower Running across the country. We collaborate closely with event organisers, forging partnerships and creating opportunities to fuel the momentum of this thrilling sport. Moreover, we strive to foster a strong and connected community of Australians who share our unwavering dedication to Stair Climbing/ Tower Running.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a budding enthusiast, SCA invites you to join our vibrant community and embark on an exhilarating journey of vertical conquest. Together, let's ascend new heights and unlock the extraordinary potential within us all.
