Hi, It's Me Lincoln - Back to do Kokoda in 2025

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. I am Lincoln Brown and I am very passionate about the Kokoda Challenge. In 2023 in year 7, I did my very first event with my school, the 48km on the Gold Coast. Last year, I did my second school event, again 48 km on the Gold Coast, but I finished 3 hours quicker in 11 hrs and 52 mins. I was determined to finish under 12 hrs.
This year I am back and guess what. I am determined to have a crack at the big one - the 96 km event. I have been training since the end of last year. I run around 30 km a week up and down forest trails. I am only 13 (I have been given special approval to do the 96 km as I'm technically underage).
Doing the Kokoda Challenge is about raising money for the Kokoda Youth Foundation. This year I have set a goal to raise $5,000. I hope you can help me get there please; I can do the hard physical work to get across the finishing line, but can you help get me over the fundraising finishing line? Please dig deep for this amazing cause.
Thank you for reading my blog ... Lincoln
p.s. The photo above is me in 2024 after just crossing the finish line after taking 11 hrs 52 mins to do the 48 km

We met Lincoln & his Mum whilst he was training around the hills of Mount Gravatt. What a truly remarkable student, whose courage and determination to complete the Kokoda Challenge of 100km is inspiring. Wishing you and your teammates all the best!
