About the race
River to Rooftop is a stair climb event held to raise funds for Women’s Legal Service Queensland (WLSQ). The event takes participants up 1,040 steps to the top of ONE ONE ONE Eagle Street in Brisbane City on 20 August 2026. It supports WLSQ’s free legal assistance and support services for women experiencing domestic and family violence; WLSQ assisted over 15,000 women last year and reported a 10% rise in calls to its Statewide Helpline.
Entry requires a registration fee of $50.00 and participants are encouraged to support a fundraising target of $120 each to help expand services. Event categories include Team/Workplace Climbers (teams must have a minimum of four climbers), Individual Climbers, Elite Climbers (those expecting to reach the summit in under ten minutes), and Multiple Climbers who aim to climb more than once.
On event day there are participant activities such as coffee and food offerings, a sparkle station and photo opportunities, recovery and hydration support, and finisher recognition. Every participant receives a finisher’s medal. Prizes are awarded for highest fundraising team and individual, fastest climbers across gender categories, and top multiple climber. The event acknowledges Traditional Custodians of the lands and recognises their continuing connection to Country. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
