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.

Track Stars Take on Kokoda 2026 – Our Journey Begins

This May, our team Track Stars is taking on an incredible challenge — walking 30km in the Kokoda Challenge. It’s not just about the distance, the mud, or the early start… it’s about pushing ourselves, supporting each other, and doing something meaningful together.

We’re a team of mums and daughters, balancing busy lives, school runs, work, and everything in between. Somewhere in the middle of all that, we decided to say “yes” to something big. Something uncomfortable. Something that would test us physically and mentally — and bring us closer together.

The Kokoda Challenge isn’t just a walk. It’s inspired by the Kokoda Track campaign — a story of resilience, courage, endurance, and mateship. These are the values we’re carrying with us every step of the 30km.

We know there will be moments on the track where it feels tough. When the mud gets deeper, the hills feel steeper, and the finish line feels far away. But we also know we’ll get through it the same way we’ve trained — together.

We’re doing this not just for the challenge, but for what it represents:

  • Stepping outside our comfort zones
  • Showing our kids what resilience looks like
  • Supporting each other through every high and low
  • Creating memories, we’ll never forget

So here’s to the beginning.

30km. One team. One goal.

Let’s do this.
