Are you up for the challenge?
The 96km Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge is our hero event! The Gold Coast is the only location with the full 96km course, making it truly live up to the title of Australia’s toughest team endurance event.
Through this event, you will be raising funds for Aussie kids who participate in Youth Programs run by the Kokoda Youth Foundation. We are a local charity with a mission to change the lives of Aussie teens by providing experiential programs that engage and inspire them to reach their full potential.
We also aim to educate all Australians about the history of the Kokoda Campaign in 1942 and offer a life-changing experience for all Kokoda Challenge competitors in our amazing team events!

COVID Safety
The health and safety of our competitors, volunteers, staff and spectators are our number one priority. The 2021 Kokoda Challenge will run a little differently than previous years to ensure we are all following COVID safety procedures.
In the event that the 2021 Kokoda Challenge should be cancelled or postponed as a result of COVID-19, participants will be given the option to either have their registration fee refunded to them or have their registration transferred to the 2022 Kokoda Challenge.
For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions.
