The Kokoda Challenge
The Kokoda Challenge is a cross-country bushwalking team event where teams of four people trek a 96 kilometre course through the Gold Coast Hinterland within a 39 hour time limit.
The event was designed to reflect the key elements of the Spirit of Kokoda - with 96 kilometres representing the actual distance of the Kokoda Track and the 39 hours symbolizing the 39th Militia who were the first of our Australian troops to arrive at Kokoda on 15th July 1942.
The four person teams are required to advance through 14 checkpoints to the finish line. At designated checkpoints teams are able to take a break and regroup with the help of their support crew.
The route is full of rugged terrain and climbs totalling 5000 metres. There is no doubt that those who take up the Kokoda Challenge will need to call on the spirit of ANZAC that was born in Gallipoli and held fast in Kokoda - endurance, sacrifice, courage and mateship.
All funds raised go to the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program. This is a life changing experience that will never be forgotten!
