Sunshine Coast Ultra Marathon: The 48km Kokoda Challenge

A Unique Ultra Marathon Adventure on the Sunshine Coast

Welcome to the 48km Sunshine Coast Kokoda Challenge, a gruelling ultra marathon on the Sunshine Coast that transcends any other experiences. Located in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, this ultra marathon is not just about personal bests or clocking the fastest times. It's about mateship, perseverance, and living a legacy. This 48km journey is an ultra marathon like no other, demanding teamwork, resilience, and a deep connection to our history.

An Ultra Marathon Like No Other

Unlike conventional ultra marathons, The Kokoda Challenge on the Sunshine Coast is a team endeavour. It’s an opportunity for groups to come together, facing the rigours of the trail not as individuals, but as a unit. The 48km Sunshine Coast Kokoda Challenge is more than a test of endurance; it's a commemorative journey, paying homage to the bravery and camaraderie of our Diggers in the 1942 Kokoda Campaign.

All About The Team Dynamic

In this unique Sunshine Coast ultra marathon, the focus is not on individual achievement but on collective perseverance. Teams are required to start and finish together, embodying the spirit of mateship that defined our soldiers' experiences on the Kokoda Track. This structure transforms the ultra marathon into a powerful team-building endeavour, fostering bonds and shared experiences.

a Challenge for All Levels

While the 48km event is the centrepiece ultra marathon of Sunshine Coast Kokoda Challenge, we also offer 18km and 30km distances. These shorter courses provide a slightly more accessible entry point for those new to endurance events or looking to experience the Challenge in a more manageable format. Each distance offers its own unique set of challenges and rewards, ensuring that teams of all abilities can participate and thrive - and believe us when we say none of them are suited to the faint of heart!

A True Test of Grit and Determination

Set against the backdrop of the scenic Imbil State Forest on Gubbi Gubbi Country, the course takes teams through rugged terrains, steep ascents, and the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast. Participants will tackle challenging trails, testing their physical and mental limits, all while being immersed in the rich history and spirit of the Kokoda legacy.
