Running a Wall: 50 Meters of Vertical Rush off a Former Grain Silo in Brühl.

Available as a single or paired run, the format lets you choose pace and style — slow, sprint, or even dynamic jumps — while trained staff lead the briefing, rig the gear and manage safety.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A pure 50‑metre vertical descent
The core of the offering is a vertical 50 m run down a former grain silo: feet stay against the wall, your gaze faces the ground, and you control the tempo — from deliberate steps to a full sprint.
Single or partner runs — you choose the pace
Offered as Einzel‑ oder Paarlauf, the activity accommodates solo participants and pairs who run together on dual lines; both formats use the same harnessing and rope system and allow participants to decide how aggressive their descent will be.
Professional supervision and clear safety rules
Trained staff handle briefings and equipment; participants use specialized securing harnesses and two ropes. Operational rules include tying back long hair, covering or removing piercings and unsecured jewelry, and stowing loose items to prevent falls.
What the day feels like
What it actually feels like
The hour begins with a safety briefing and fitting of harnesses, then moves quickly to the edge: feet pressed to the wall, the only direction is down. Whether you descend deliberately, push for speed, or experiment with jumps, the vertical nature of the drop compresses the sensation into an intense, focused burst of adrenaline under professional supervision.
