Ramona Boca, PR & Marketing Manager for RPHI Romania I SkyTower, expressed her enthusiasm for this special SKYRUN edition: “We are happy to have been able to include this special edition in the SKY’S THE LIMIT programme, as it was the first time it was possible to organise the SkyRun on the 35th floor of the tower. While organizing SkyRun2023 the 35th floor has been rented and will be occupied again for a minimum of 5 years, but we hope to find other solutions to soon be able to repeat this unique vertical race that brings so much joy and satisfaction.”
