StepUp
Step up for health and celebrate the NHS’s 77th birthday at Vicarage Road Stadium
Step Up, a unique stair climbing challenge in the home of the Hornets, is taking place on Saturday 5th July 2025, at Watford FC’s Vicarage Road Stadium – a date that also marks the 77th birthday of the NHS.
This exciting event will raise funds for Watford FC’s Community Sports and Education Trust and its neighbour, West Herts Hospitals Charity, the official charity for West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Participants will have the chance to run, walk, or climb their way up and down the stands of the 20,000+ seater stadium. With chip timing available, participants can set personal goals, compete with friends, or simply focus on finishing the challenge. All funds raised will support the health and wellbeing of thousands of local people, with proceeds going towards projects funded by Watford FC’s Community Sports and Education Trust and West Herts Hospitals Charity.
This fundraising event will see you scale the equivalent of climbing up and down the iconic Empire State Building.
Included in the registration fee:
• Chipped timing
• Refreshments along the route
• Medal upon completion
• Goodybag
