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.

As you do the walk remember those who walked the actual trail, carrying heavy packs and rifles. They slid through mud up and down huge mountains. They were poorly supplied and provisioned , suffered dysentery, disease and death and at the end of their struggles were denigrated by their commander in chief, Thomas Blamey, as "rabbits" who ran from fire. A poor commander who deserved no respect and of dubious repute.
