The Kokoda Challenge - Gold Coast is Australia's toughest team endurance event held in the Gold Coast Hinterland, finishing at Nerang Velodrome. It offers three distances: 30km, 48km, and the grueling 96km course, which features over 4,000 meters of elevation, multiple creek crossings, and night hiking in cold conditions. The event emphasizes teamwork, mental toughness, and the Kokoda Spirit values of courage, endurance, mateship, and sacrifice, inspired by the 1942 Kokoda Campaign. Proceeds support the Kokoda Youth Foundation’s programs that mentor local youth. The challenge is a physically demanding, community-focused experience designed to push participants beyond their limits. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
