About
Support our team and empower local youth!
Our team are tackling Australia's toughest team endurance event, The Kokoda Challenge, to support the Kokoda Youth Foundation in their mission to change the lives of young Australians through instilling the values of the Spirit of Kokoda; Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice. These are the values we will embody on our adventure, paying tribute to Kokoda Veterans.
Our team will be taking on the 96km non-stop hike challenge! We'll have 39 hours to complete the hike. The aim of the hike is to emulate what our Australian soldiers did back in 1942 along the Kokoda Track. Our Diggers endured a hell like no other during WWII and every step you take will pay homage to the hardships they faced. It’s about paying respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and helping those who come after us.
The Kokoda Youth Foundation is an Australian charity that runs free youth programs for kids in the local community, empowering disadvantaged and disengaged youth with the tools to realise their full potential.
By making a tax-deductible donation today, you can support our team in The Kokoda Challenge and provide Australian youth with life-changing opportunities.
Thank you to our Sponsors

All the best and enjoy the ride. My Dad walked it in the early 1980’s and I’ll never forgot when he told me how big the bush roaches were that would nibble on their feet at night when out of their army boots
