Brisbane Kokoda Challenge

Get a team together with friends, family, workmates, sports or school mates and challenge yourself! In honour of the Kokoda Spirit, this 30km & 15km event winds through some of Brisbane’s toughest terrain. If you want to test your fitness or make sure that your training is on track for the 96km Kokoda Challenge on the Gold Coast, this is the event for you!

The track undulates through the natural green scenery west of Brisbane Forest Park. Starting at Brookfield Showgrounds, make your way up to the checkpoint at McAfee’s Lookout before returning to the showgrounds via the subtropical rainforest of D’Aguilar National Park, reminiscent of the Owen Stanley Ranges in Papua New Guinea.

The 30km (or 15km) distance coupled with wide open fire trails makes this the perfect event for beginners or runners having a hit out. Teams of 2, 3 or 4 must complete the course together in honour of the spirit forged on the Kokoda Track in 1942: courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice.

The Junior Kokoda Challenge is definitely one to mark in the school calendar. In a break from traditional school sports where teachers are barracking from the sidelines, the schools event requires teachers to join and lead a team of 4 students. Training for – and during – the event, team members will be physically & emotionally fatigued and they must develop new strategies to motivate and keep their group going.

By raising money for the Brisbane Kokoda Challenge you are helping to change young lives and ensuring Aussie teenagers access to a brighter future for themselves, their families, and the greater community. Nothing will beat the satisfaction that comes from setting a goal, and achieving that goal against all odds. Are you up for the Challenge?
