THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER CHALLENGE.
It’s not about the distance; it’s about the Vertical gain.
From 26–30 November, climb the equivalent of 5,000 vertical metres, anywhere, anytime. You can do it in one hit or over 5 days! Take it on solo and push your own limits, or rally your crew and tackle it with mates.
Every step helps raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Find your mountain (National)
Take on the Vertical 5km solo or with your crew. Share the 5,000 metres or own it yourself. Stairs, hills, trails, or treadmill—climb it your way. Smash it in one brutal effort or grind it out over five days, 26–30 Nov.
Join a hosted event (NSW In-person)
Prefer a group atmosphere? Limited spots are available for our hosted event on the Central Coast, NSW. Push yourself alongside fellow challengers in an unforgettable, purpose-driven day.
