Keepy Uppy World Record* Attempt!
EVENT
Get ready to make history with Sport Manawatū!
Wednesday 30 October 2024
As part of the exciting Play Week (26 October - 1 November 2024), we’re gearing up to break a world record*—and we need your help!
We're aiming to smash the current world record* for the most people playing Keepy Uppy at the same time. Queensland holds the title with 702 participants, but with your energy and enthusiasm, we know we can do better!
What’s the Plan?
We’re calling on early childhood centres, schools, tertiary institutions, workplaces, retirement villages, building sites, hair salons - pretty much the entire community across Palmerston North, the Manawatū, Horowhenua, and Tararua districts to join in this epic challenge. Imagine classrooms, offices, and parks all buzzing with giant inflatable balls and colourful balloons, all bouncing in the air unison!
Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to be part of this massive, synchronised game of Keepy Uppy—it’s going to be a blast!
When: 1pm, Wednesday, 30 October 2024
Where: Across Palmerston North, Manawatū District, Tararua District, and Horowhenua District. Wherever you are, you can join the fun! We are partnering with locations across our rohe so you can join public events at the following locations:
- Palmerston North: B&M Centre, Central Energy Trust Arena, 61 Pascal Street Palmerston North
- Horowhenua: Te Takeretanga o Kura-hau-pō, 10 Bath Street, Levin
- Tararua: Bush Multisport Park, 57 & 74 Huxley Street, Pahiatua
Why: Because breaking a world record* is awesome, and it’s a fun, free way to get involved with Play Week. Plus, it’s a fantastic excuse to let loose and have a great time with the community.
👉 All participating organisations or individuals will receive a certificate verifying their involvement in this epic event!

*While we were hoping to make it an official world record attempt, we haven't been successful in securing the necessary funds to pay the fee for that. However, we’re still determined to beat the world record, official or not!
