About


Support our team and empower local youth!

Our team are tackling Australia’s toughest team endurance event, the Kokoda Challenge, and we need your help! We’re not just hiking for ourselves, we’re hiking for a cause – to fundraise for the Kokoda Youth Foundation who run life-changing programs for young people across Australia. Their programs provide disengaged youth with the skills, knowledge and outdoor experiences that grow the Kokoda values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. They have provided these fully-funded programs to hundreds of young people since 2004, thanks to the help of Kokoda Challenge participants, like us. Your donation will help more young people realise their potential.

Thank you to our Sponsors

If you have an experience like you did on the top of the mountain on the 2012 flinders trip take a photo. I want evidence.

What a fantastic cause – I’m sure you’ll do amazing. Back in my fitter days, I used to run up and smash the “1000 Steps” (Kokoda Track in the Dandenong Ranges). There are pit stops and plaques along the way where you can pause (catch your breath) and reflect on the soldiers’ stories. Best of luck – you’ve got this!

Best of luck on tackling the Kokoda! Just remember that when you're knee-deep in mud at 3:00 AM, questioning every life choice that brought you to this moment, pain is temporary, but the right to ruthlessly remind everyone that you walked a casual 96 kilometers through the bush is forever. Pack the anti-chafing cream like your life depends on it, look after each other's blistered feet, and try not to fight over the last jelly bean. 😁 Go crush it!
