The field in the tower shaft gives a weak lift, just enough to lift the boy and give a small acceleration upwards.
That means, in the short term, you will have the speed you entered the field with.
In the long term, you will be picking up speed upwards.
To beat the race at the top of the tower, you need to jump to start with good speed, and you can only make minor mistakes.
Leaving the field during the run most often looses you too much speed to make it, unless you can land and jump again shortly.
An optimal run leaves you with something like 8-10 seconds at the top, before the scroll reaches you.
