The Kokoda Challenge is designed to reflect the key elements of the Spirit of our nation. The Challenge is a cross-country, bushwalking team event over 96kms which represents the distance of the Kokoda Track, to be completed within 39hours which symbolises the 39 th Militia Battalion, the first of our Australian troops to arrive at Kokoda, 15 th July 1942.
The Challenge requires an appropriate and committed training programme. Much of the trek covers difficult terrain, And you will be in open country for many hours.
It is important that you plan and train for the event well in advance.
