Wave times

Warm-up and marshalling

A fun, quick warm up routine will be conducted for your wave before you stomp.

Your bib number will need to be visable before entering the area. You will not be permitted to enter this area until your wave time is called. The exception to this is our unlimited stompers who may enter and pass through this space without stopping after every lap completion.

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 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.

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 +)

6000 stairs (up and down total): The course will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 90 minutes to complete depending on your fitness level. You’ll stomp all over the grandstands from the shallower lower levels to the steep upper decks, finishing with a lap of the boundary.

Short Course (12 yrs +)

3300 stairs (up and down total): The course will take around 30 – 45 minutes to complete. This course utilises level 1 plus the upper Riverband Stand (new in 2020) and most of the Western Stand, skipping the upper levels of the most challenging Eastern stand. You’ll still feel it especially with the addition of the Upper Riverbank stand. You’ll finish with a lap of the boundary. If 3300 stairs still sounds too much, we suggest the 1000 stairs course below, which is also open to adults.

Junior Course (5-11 yrs)

1000 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 short course (1000 stairs – see above) is just perfect. 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 ($29.95 full price – check pricing table for current price).

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 boundary line so you can soak up what you’ve just achieved at this magnificent ground.

Water stations and toilets

You are welcome to carry your own drink bottle around Adelaide Oval, however there will be water stations located throughout the course with one servicing the lower levels and two servicing the upper levels PLUS a 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.

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