For more than 30 years, Storm the Wall has been an iconic event on the Point Grey campus. Now UBC REC and Alumni Affairs invite you to re-live the experience of scaling a 12 foot wall with four of your friends. Legs of the relay race include a swim, sprint, bike and run all followed by the challenge of getting your team up and over the wall.
We know it may have been a few years since you last stormed the wall or perhaps you missed out on the Storm the Wall experience as an undergrad…Not to worry, You’ll have help along the way and at the walls to make sure you get over.
To take part of these alumni races, your team of 5 must have at least 3 UBC alumni.
