Walking Stars is a night-time fundraising event with participants walking a half marathon or a 12km loop in Wellington city to raise funds in support of local people living with cancer. The lovely organisers gave us a 50% discount on the registration fee! Dressed up in tramping gear and fairy lights, we had great fun wandering around the city at night.
