Is there a fee to enter March Mission?
No, it is completely free to participate in March Mission.
We ask that you fundraise a suggested target of $350 or more per individual - or as much as you can - for the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai.
The money you raise will support the Mission's services. This ensures that people living on the streets, in unsuitable housing or experiencing poverty, have access to food, healthcare, affordable housing options and caring support.
Can I do March Mission with a team?
Yes! You can create or join a team when you register.
Complete it solo or with your mates, family or colleagues…it’s up to you.

About March Mission
Do I have to do 7000 steps a day?
The challenge is 7000 steps a day during the month of March - but how you make it work is up to you.
You might decide to do even more steps, or you might decide to do 5000 on weekdays and "step it up" over the weekends.
At the Mission, we understand people have different needs and abilities. Your team may have someone doing fewer steps - and the rest make up for it in their totals.
Or if you feel 7,000 is too easy, you can increase your daily step challenge - or decrease your daily steps. We encourage you to make it your challenge. Just update your fundraising page to let people know how many steps a day you will be doing in March.
It's over to you how you plan a "bit of a walk for a lot of support".
Is there a specific route or destination?
You could use the opportunity to explore new walks across our wonderful city.
If you are fundraising as a team, we suggest you arrange some regular meetups to encourage each other towards your goal!
Share your walks by posting regularly on your own social media - and make sure you join our private Facebook group to connect with other walkers. (Facebook details coming to you on email).
Can churches, schools or big groups do March Mission?
Simply create your own page, then your team page - and ask everyone to register.
Then work together on how your large group will coordinate works and support one another.
We will also have a private Facebook group so those that want to feel more connected can join us there! (Details will be emailed to all people registered).
