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 2018 — all while contributing to a great cause.
Stadium Climb Wellington is a new outdoor challenge where you traverse one of the country's most prized venues in the name of charity. Come 16 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.
