NEW YORK — Thomas Dold of Germany and Suzy Walsham of Singapore have repeated as winners of the Empire State Building Run-Up in New York City.

In his fourth consecutive victory, the 41-year-old Dold raced up the 86 flights in 10 minutes, 7 seconds, beating his previous best by one second. The course record is 9:33, set by Paul Crake in 2003.

Walsham, a native of Australia, marked her third consecutive win, climbing the 1,576 steps in 13 minutes, 27 seconds.

The event is one of the world's premier tower races, beginning with a mad dash in the lobby and finishing on the observation deck.
