German first up Empire State

Running: Thomas Dold of Germany won the Empire State Building Run-Up for a record sixth straight year on Tuesday, hustling up 86 flights of stairs in 10 minutes, 10 seconds.

Alice McNamara of Australia, a rower competing in the race up the Manhattan landmark for the first time, was the women’s winner in 13 minutes, 3 seconds.

Wearing knee-high black socks and yellow sneakers, the 26-year-old Dold scaled the 1,576 steps from the lobby to the outdoor observation deck of New York’s tallest building and beat last year’s winning time by 6 seconds. It was his third-fastest finish in the race, behind a 10:07 in 2009 and 10:08 in 2008.

Two other men have won the race five times since it began in 1978, American Al Waquie from 1983-87 and Australian Paul Crake from 1999-2003. Crake holds the world record with a time of 9 minutes, 33 seconds, but he hasn’t competed since suffering a devastating bicycle accident in 2006.

Organizers said 150 men and 60 women completed the race.
