Westpac Stadium has been the scene of many a Kiwi sporting triumph and some truly banging concerts over the years. This November, it could also be the place where you smash one of your loftiest fitness goals for 2019 — all while contributing to a great cause.
Stadium Climb Wellington is an outdoor challenge where you traverse one of the country's most prized venues in the name of charity. Come 7 November, it won't be doughnut vendors marching up and down the Westpac Stadium aisles — instead, you'll be joining hundreds of other climbers as you navigate the stadium's 4500 steps.
The event is a fundraiser for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. The funds raised will go towards helping local patients with blood cancer or a blood related condition, and their families.
Feel free to tackle the challenge solo, or gather your mates and sign up as a team for moral support and added fun. The challenge isn't a timed race; it's simply designed to be a fun way to get fit (yes, there are spot prizes and medals) and support a worthy cause.
