The 5th Staircase Race Earth Hour Run was held at the Hilton Pattaya recently. The race is held to encourage the saving of electricity by reducing the use of elevators. Competitors in fancy dresses ran up the stairs from the 1st floor to the 34th floor participating in fun activities along the way. The recreation team won the run, clocking in at 11.09 minutes. The best creative environmental friendly costume was won by the Housekeeping team. In support of Earth Hour, most of the lights at the hotel were also switched off for one hour.
