To celebrate what’s been the biggest and best year yet, we’re holding a ‘closing night’ climb, prize-giving and one final catch-up.
The plan is to meet at the marae at 4:30pm and walk in what will no doubt be the largest group that’s ever climbed the maunga.
At the top we’ll have games, activities, a giant ‘mystery’ inflatable, prizes, music and more.
See you there!
It’s been another huge week on Titirangi, with events, news teams and the usually highway of foot traffic. Over the course of the week we were lucky to spend a lot of time on the maunga, and heard some incredible, inspiring stories of your success.
With the end of the challenge rapidly approaching (Sunday October 29th), we’re having to turn our attention to celebrating the completion of the 2017 challenge.
Make a note in your diary for Sunday October 29th. We will hold a celebratory walk to the top with as many of you as possible. We will be giving certificates to all the individuals and teams who have made it to the top of Everest and will have a few more spot prizes to give away.

50 of you have already made it to Everest, and many are well on their way! Between us all, we’ve climbed the maunga 9,016 times, and made it to space 11 times.
This week’s challenge – see if you can motivate someone to join you on one of your climbs this week so that they too can be inspired by awesome buzz on the hill.
There are a heap of exciting things happening on Titirangi this week, including a whanau fitness session and a visit from TVNZ 1 on Wednesday.
TVNZ want to share the inspiring story of this challenge with the rest of the country! They’ll be on the maunga filming from 4pm onward tomorrow afternoon and we want it to be packed!
Make sure you bring as many people as you can with you on your afternoon walk, and if you have an inspiring story to tell about your journey, stop and have a chat!
