If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll no doubt be aware of my deep love for stair running. Great for the heart and lungs (not to mention your butt and legs) stairs are a secret weapon in the quest for higher levels of fitness.
So, taking all of this into account, you can imagine my excitement at the idea of a fun run that is based ENTIRELY AROUND STAIR CLIMBING. It’s called Stadium Stomp, and it’s happening in Sydney THIS SUNDAY, 27 JULY, 2014, Best of all, you can win a double pass right here!
The Sydney event is held at the SCG and Allianz Stadium in Moore Park, where you’ll face an epic 6,300 stair climb. Don’t panic though, there’ll be rest stops, drink stations and music playing to keep you pumped up and focused. It’s pretty awesome – you’ll start in the SCG and complete a full lap there, before moving on to Allianz Stadium to complete a full lap there, with the Stomp ending in a lap around the SCG Oval (probably a good idea given the amount of lactic acid you’ll have built up in your poor old legs).
The course takes around 40-70 minutes to complete and there are starting waves from 8am-11.45am.
Every participant receives a medallion (woohoo!), voucher for two free trial issues of Runner’s World Mag, access to free massage and 20% off 2XU compressions (for a limited time).
