Vertical Marathon of Sorts At 63 Building?

Guess these people have every reason to look self-congratulatory. I would, too, if I had also walked up the entire staircase to reach the top of the 249 meter or  817- feet  high 63 Building ( 63 빌딩 or 육삼 빌딩). In addition to the great views of Yeouido island and  the Han River in Seoul, they also could claim the privilege of being in an exclusive group of sportspersons who have taken part in a vertical marathon.

Interestingly another vertical marathon is also organised for Singaporeans who can also run up the full 63 floors of the One Raffles Place Building.  Congratulations to all those who made it to the top - ajumma salutes you!
