INTERESTED IN TAKING ON THE KOKODA PINNACLE?
AUSTRALIA'S TOUGHEST TEAM ENDURANCE EVENT
Just Got Tougher
If you’re the type of thrill seeker who wants to challenge yourself even further than the 96km Gold Coast event, then the Kokoda Challenge Pinnacle is for you.
Your team will start off by taking on the Sunshine Coast 30km through Imbil State Forest on the 20th of April.
You’ll then be heading to Brisbane to tackle the 48km course on the 1st of June before you go head-to-head with the big 96km Gold Coast event on the 13th of July - that’s 3 events in 13 weeks!
If this is your first time taking on a challenge like this, The Kokoda Challenge Pinnacle is an excellent way for your team to train and work your way up to the big 96km.
By signing up to Pinnacle, you’ll receive a discount on your team entry fee, plus your fundraising requirement will be less than if you were to register for each event individually.
Your team will experience all 3 Queensland event locations
all within a 3 hour drive of each other
