While 6 teams work in rotating blocks around me, I'll be on the rowing machine every single hour — chasing 50km across the full event. No breaks between sessions. Just metres.

KILOMETRES - MY TARGET
I'll be on the erg rowing 10 minutes every hour for the full 24 hours. While the teams rotate and rest, I keep going. Every hour. All night. All day.
THE TEAM FORMAT
6 TEAMS.
YOUR MACHINE.
YOUR BLOCK.
01
CHOOSE YOUR MACHINE
Each team selects their cardio machine on the day — rower, bike, or more. Your team, your call.
02
2 MEMBERS PER BLOCK
Only 2 team members are in the gym at a time during your 4-hour block. Keeps the floor manageable and the energy focused.
03
20 MINS EVERY HOUR
Your team covers two 4-hour blocks. 4 hours on, 8 hours off, then back again for your second block.
04
SURPRISE WORKOUT
Every 4-hour block includes a short surprise workout — one per block, one team member up at a time. Every person on your team will get a turn across the 24 hours. Each workout is different. Prizes up for grabs.

THE CAUSE
Head and neck cancer affects your ability to speak, eat, and breathe.
Treatment is intensive, recovery is long, and the impact on daily life is profound. Awareness changes outcomes. That's exactly why we're here.
In 2025, around 5,500 Australians were diagnosed with head and neck cancer. We're moving for the people fighting it right now — and raising the profile of a cancer that deserves far more attention.
5,500
Australians diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2025. Most people have never heard of it.
"We're raising funds and awareness for the people who are in it right now — the way I was."
SUPPORT THE CAUSE DIRECTLY
