    One of our runners is taking on The CLAW on Saturday... and it's every bit as brutal as it sounds!

    - 34 laps of the Blue Lake

    - 6km per lap

    - 24 hours

    - 204km total

    While most of us will be sleeping, this challenge means putting one foot in front of the other for an entire day and night, all in support of Kids in Need Waikato.

    The determination, grit and resilience that will be on display is exactly what the Undie 500 Challenge is all about. Every lap completed and every kilometre conquered is helping us raise funds and awareness for Kiwi kids who need a helping hand.

    A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Your support is what keeps our runners moving when the legs are tired and the finish line still feels a long way away.

    Go Guppy!!!!

  • We're Going All In on 500

      2 September 2026

    Together, we're aiming for:

    500km completed by our team

    500 pairs of undies

    500 pairs of socks

    500 hygiene items

    500 fresh starts

    Many children entering care arrive with very few personal belongings, often carrying their world in a single black rubbish bag.

    We're determined to help change that.

    Every donation helps provide essentials such as underwear, pyjamas, shoes, school supplies and hygiene products, giving children the dignity of having something new to call their own.
