Are you up for the challenge?
The Kokoda Challenge is back in Brisbane for another year of life-changing adventure through the beautiful D'Aguilar National Park!
Competitors and their teams can take on the 18, 30 or 48km distance to not only push their own physical and mental boundaries, but also to raise funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation.
We are an Australian charity and our mission is to change the lives of local teens by providing experiential programs that engage and inspire them to reach their full potential.
Not only that, but through this event, you will also learn about the bravery that our diggers displayed on the real Kokoda Track in 1942 and honour the men who fought for our freedom and our country.
THE 2022 BRISBANE KOKODA CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MOVED TO AUGUST 13-14
REGISTRATIONS WILL CLOSE ON THE 15TH OF JULY UNLESS SOLD OUT PRIOR
