Walking Stars 2019
Walking Stars is a night-time walking marathon that brings people together to raise vital funds in supporting local people living with cancer. Starting after sun down at Auckland Domain, the 21.2 km route takes you on a magical starlit walk past some of Auckland’s finest landmarks.
Each walker gets their own online fundraising page, with all funds raised going directly to support local people living with cancer. In 2018, Walking Stars participants together raised over $500,000, an amazing contribution.
Your entry includes:
- Event entry
- Training plans
- Walker number
- Hydration stations en route
- Walking Stars 2019 medal on completion
- Memorable experience (to be repeated again and again)
Your registration fee covers the cost of the event and fundraising efforts will support work of the Cancer Society. You will have your own fundraising page to share with your friends and family, and every dollar you raise helps fund cancer research, support and prevention.

So we want to hear what you think:

-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
