Title: Relay for Life Hawke's Bay 2026 - Winter Indoor Edition
Relay for Life is back - and this time, we're bringing it indoors.
Join us on Saturday, 6 June 2026, at Pettigrew Green Arena, Taradale, for an unforgettable afternoon and evening celebrating survivors, honouring those we've lost, and raising funds for local people facing cancer.
2:00 pm – 9:00 pm · $10 per team member- · $5 per spectator not participating - Fundraising event
How it works
Form a team (or join as an individual), set a fundraising goal, and walk laps throughout the evening. It's not a race, it's a community. Teams take turns walking while supporters cheer, share kai, and soak in the atmosphere.
Whether you walk in memory of someone, in celebration of a survivor, or simply to give back — there's a place for you here.

Why it matters
Every dollar raised stays local. Cancer Society Hawke's Bay uses funds to provide specialist support, transport to treatment, and community health programmes for people across our region.
1 in 3 New Zealanders will be affected by cancer. This is your community, come walk for it.
Get involved
Start a team - gather your workmates, friends, sports club, or school group and fundraise together. Teams of all sizes welcome.
Join a team - browse existing teams and sign up to walk alongside them.
Donate - can't make it on the night? Support a team or the event directly.
Running since 2007, Relay for Life is Cancer Society Hawke's Bay's flagship fundraiser, and after a hiatus brought on by COVID-19 and Cyclone Gabrielle, we are proud to bring it back to our community.
Kia ora, Hawke's Bay. Let's walk together.
