Choose your test: 30km, 48km, or the legendary 96km, tackling our rugged hinterland trails in teams of 2–5. Expect steep climbs, creek crossings, and the infamous 'Big 5' mountains – all adding up to over 4,000 metres of elevation.
It’s more than an endurance event – it’s a challenge of teamwork, resilience, and grit. Push your limits, power through the night (for those on the 96km course), and make a real difference by raising funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation's life-changing programs.
Sign up for the adventure of a lifetime!
