Wave times

Wave times commence from 7:00am with new waves every 15 minutes. 

Your bib number will indicate to us which wave time you should be in and our MC will be on loud speaker to call up each wave time to the start area as required. Listen out for these.

Warm-up and marshalling

A fitness trainer will conduct a fun, quick warm up routine for your wave before you stomp.

Kit/ Bib collection

You will be assigned your bib upon event check-in after we scan your confirmation email QR code and collect your printed and signed waiver.

Collecting for a friend?

There will be no need as bibs will be allocated directly upon check-in for each individual.

Merchandise

Pre-purchased merchandise will be available for collection at the event.

Merchandise may be available to purchase (pending availability) on the day. We recommend purchasing your merchandise when you register to ensure that you have a full range of sizes and styles available to you before they sell out.

Bag Compound

We encourage you to leave your belongings at home and carry just what you need with you.

Running belts will be available to purchase at the event and are great for holding small items such as keys and phone.

A small compound will be available for those that need it. We ask for your patience. This is a free service.

Water stations

We are encouraging everyone to BYO water to minimise the impact on the environment and touch points at the venue. However, should you need, drink stations will be on course offering water in pre-filled disposable cups.

Other event information

Course Time Limit

Stadium Stomp is not a timed event.

Participants will have until 2 hours after the last full course wave of the day to complete the full course. After this time, announcements will be made over the bowl mic and a member of the Stadium Stomp Operations team will direct any participants remaining on course to make their way down to the field of play to complete their finisher lap.

If there are minimal people on course and resources permit, consideration will be given by the Event Director to allow the participant(s) to continue in conjunction with either a Stadium Stomp volunteer or event staff member following them.  NB. The course may be packed-down around participants as this process occurs.

To allow yourself the most time to complete the course, we recommend registering for an early wave time.

Wet Weather

Stadium Stomp will go ahead rain or shine, barring any extreme weather conditions that would put the safety of the participants at risk. In the event of inclement weather, modifications to the route may be made to ensure everyone’s safety.

Check www.facebook.com/stadiumstomp for updates in the event of bad weather.

Accommodation

No accommodation partner.

About The Course

Course options available make this event open to all levels of fitness. There will be drink stations scattered throughout, music to keep you going and of course plenty of seats should you need a break.

Please note Stadium Stomp is a challenge not a race. This is not a timed event.

Full Course (12 yrs +)

5000 stairs (up and down total): The course will take anywhere from 35 minutes up to 1.5+ hours to complete depending on your fitness level. You’ll be stomping two laps of the steeper upper levels, one lap of the lower ground level and a lap of the oval to finish.

Junior Course (5-11 yrs)

600 stairs (up and down total): For little stompers wanting to stomp with their parent(s) or guardian. We encourage health, fitness and movement in youngsters and think our junior course is just perfect. This course utilizes the shallower stairs of the bottom level only and includes a lap of the oval to finish. Junior only waves (last wave of the day) will ensure your little people aren’t over run by our older stompers.

*Each junior must be accompanied by a registered junior course adult and one adult can accompany multiple Juniors.

Stomp Unlimited (12 yrs +)

As many stairs as you dare: Stomp your way around the full course as many times as you dare from the first wave time until the last. This category is not for the faint hearted and numbers are strictly limited. You will be required to finish the course in full and head back to the start line to commence your subsequent laps. Earn an additional finishers medal each lap.

As you finish

As a final thrilling finish to your epic stomp, you’ll complete a lap of the GABBA boundary line so you can soak up what you’ve just achieved.

Water stations and toilets

You are welcome to carry your own drink bottle around the course, however there will be water stations located throughout the course with two servicing the upper levels and two servicing the lower level including the finish line water station.

Please be aware that toilets will be open at each water station on course and in the main concourse/Expo area but will be locked elsewhere.

Withdrawing during the event

If you are unable to complete the course for any reason, please alert a Volunteer or staff member who will determine the safest way to exit the course and escort you back to the starting area.

Medical assistance and first aid

Qualified medical staff will be located around the ground to assist with any medical issues that may arise. If you spot someone needing medical assistance, please get the attention of the nearest volunteer who will then alert medical staff. Volunteers will all be wearing high visibility vests so will be easy to spot on course.

What to watch out for

It’s a concrete jungle out there! The stadium is full of twists and turns. Stairs will vary in height, width, gradient and the number of stairs per aisle depending on where you are climbing.

Course tips

If it’s raining take extra care.

Rest and take a seat if or when you need to. This is permitted anywhere along the course.

Make use of the handrails – They help stabilise and double as a great arm work out!

If someone needs assistance, please alert a volunteer or staff member.
