EVENT PREP — SPONSOR SUPPORT

Since the beginning of our multi‑site hosts, Concept2 has been part of the backbone of 24 Hours of Heroes. Their support has helped shape the event across Australia and New Zealand — steady, reliable, and committed to the purpose behind the 24 hours.

Every year, as planning begins, Concept2 is one of the first brands to stand behind the mission. Their backing strengthens the event, supports the communities involved, and helps carry the stories we honour.

Sponsors don’t just add logos.
They help build the foundation that makes the event possible.

HERO SPOTLIGHT — LCPL LUKE GAVIN

Every hour of 24 Hours of Heroes begins with a story, and this week we honour Lance Corporal Luke Gavin — a soldier remembered for his professionalism, loyalty, and devotion to both his mates and his family.

Luke served with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, completing multiple deployments across East Timor and Afghanistan. He was known for his attitude, his specialist skills, and the way he lifted the people around him. A husband, a father, a leader and a man whose impact reached far beyond his role.

When his story is read in the room, the energy shifts.
Athletes stand a little taller.
The purpose behind the hour becomes clearer.
And the effort that follows carries his name.

We honour LCPL Gavin.
We honour his service.
And we keep his story in the room.

FRIDAY HYPE — THE EARLY BUILD

It’s still a long way to April, but that’s exactly where the hype starts — slow, steady, and deliberate.
This is the phase where the idea of 24 Hours of Heroes begins to surface again in conversations, planning chats, and coach discussions. Nothing loud yet. Just the early spark.

The date is set.
The purpose is clear.
And the groundwork for the 24 hours starts now.

This is the kind of hype that grows over months — the kind that builds a stronger event, a stronger community, and a stronger connection to the stories we honour.

April is far away.
But the momentum begins today.

EVENT PREP — SAVE THE DATE

The first step in preparing for 24 Hours of Heroes is simple: lock in the date.

April 17/18.

That’s when the 24 hours return — the briefings, the stories, the community, and the purpose behind every hour. Over the coming weeks, gyms will put their hands up, details will roll out, and the full event structure will take shape. But the date is set, and the countdown starts now.

Gym registrations open early November!

Mark it.
Share it.
Hold the weekend.

April 17/18 — the 24 hours are coming.

HERO SPOTLIGHT — ADDISON & SPEARS
Every hour of 24 Hours of Heroes begins with a story, and this one carries weight.
Senior Constables Peter John Addison and Robert Bruce Spears were two police officers who stepped into a domestic‑violence call in 1995 and never walked back out. Their actions, courage, and final decisions led to major reforms that still protect officers today.

Two men.
Two families.
One moment that changed policing in Australia.

Across host gyms this year, their story was read before the workout began — a quiet pause where the room shifted, athletes listened, and the purpose behind the hour landed. It’s the part of the event that matters most: remembering who the effort is for.

We honour Addison.
We honour Spears.
And we keep their story in the room.

FRIDAY HYPE — THE MOMENT THE ROOM GOES QUIET
Before every hour begins, there’s a moment that hits differently.
The room settles, athletes step in closer, and the bio of the fallen service man or woman is read. It’s the point where the noise drops and the purpose of the next hour lands.

You hear their name.
You hear their story.
And suddenly the workout isn’t just a workout, it’s a tribute.

Across Australia and New Zealand, every host gym shared that same moment. Different voices, different rooms, same respect. It’s the anchor of the event, the reset before the effort, and the reminder of why everyone is there.

That’s the Friday hype.
The quiet before the work.

EVENT PREP — FUNDRAISING MOMENTUM
In the lead‑up to 24 Hours of Heroes, every host gym starts building fundraising momentum. It’s one of the most important parts of the event, the effort that happens before anyone steps onto the floor.

Gyms set targets, teams start sharing their pages, local businesses jump in, and the community begins to rally behind the cause. You can feel the shift when it starts: conversations at the desk, members asking how to get involved, sponsors offering support, and friendly competition pushing the numbers higher.

Fundraising is part of the prep.
It shapes the energy of the event.
And it connects every gym across Australia and New Zealand to the purpose behind the 24 hours.

HERO SPOTLIGHT — BRAD
Private Bradley Wayne Carr’s story sits at the heart of why 24 Hours of Heroes exists. A soldier, an athlete, a teammate, and someone who gave everything he had to the people around him. His life held moments of achievement, struggle, service, and passion — all reflected in the workout that carries his name.

Seven rounds for the year he joined the ADF.
11.11.84 for his birthday.
Single‑leg squats for his inline skating.
Push‑ups and double‑unders for the training he loved.
A 2000m row for the year he competed at the X Games.

Across host gyms this year, Brad’s story was told through effort — steady, honest, and meaningful.

We honour Brad.
We honour his service.
And we keep his story in the room.

FRIDAY HYPE — SYMBOLS OF THE EVENT
The patches represent what 24 Hours of Heroes has become, gyms across Australia and New Zealand connected by one event, one purpose, and one long day of honouring the heroes.

Different gyms, different communities, different stories in the room.
But the same symbol shows up again and again — on shirts, on bags, on the table at check‑in — a reminder of the shared mission behind the 24 hours.

It’s not about who gets one.
It’s about what they stand for.

This year, every host gym carried that purpose.

EVENT PREP — FIND YOUR SIX
Every gym that hosts 24 Hours of Heroes knows the first real step in event prep: build your teams of six.
The right mix matters, people who show up, people who stay steady through the night, people who carry the meaning of the event as much as the workload.

Teams start forming months out.
You look for the reliable ones, the quiet workers, the midnight grinders, the sunrise lifters.
Six people who can rotate, support, and keep the room moving for 24 straight hours.

Across all host gyms this year, those teams became the backbone of the event.
Find your six early.
They shape everything.
