Emerge from the players' tunnel to start your challenge!

This isn't just your usual fundraising event. You'll experience behind the scenes access at Stamford Bridge, feel what it's like to sit in the changing room of legends past and present, take the hot seat in the media room (home to The Special Ones famous conference) and walk out of the players tunnel into the stadium before your challenge begins.

This is your chance to be a part of a unique experience and raise money for Mind.

On the day

  • You’ll need to arrive at Stamford Bridge to sign in 1 hour before your start time.
  • Follow in the steps of the footballing greats. Visit the media rooms and home and away changing rooms, before heading through the tunnel to the start line. To make sure everything runs to time on the day, you will only have access to these areas before your start time - so make the most of this unique opportunity.
  • After bag-drop, you’ll be taken through a group warm-up before the challenge begins.
  • Race against the clock to complete as many circuits as you can in 90 minutes. Each circuit is a lap outside the stadium followed by a 200ft stair climb up and down the West Stand.
  • Once the full-time whistle blows, you’ll finish to receive your medal and certificate. Then celebrate with a well-earned drink in the concourse!
