2025 Brisbane Kokoda Challenge
Event location
Description
Organiser: Kokoda Youth Foundation
The Kokoda Challenge is back in Brisbane for another year of life-changing adventure through the beautiful D'Aguilar National Park!
Starting from Brookfield, just a 30-minute drive from the CBD, teams will tackle 18, 30 or 48km distances, testing their limits and push their own physical and mental endurance. But that’s not all; teams will also raise funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation, an Australian charity on a mission to transform the lives of local teens through experiential programs that engage and inspire them to reach their full potential.
In the heart of this adventure, you’ll uncover the extraordinary bravery that our diggers displayed on the real Kokoda Track in 1942. You'll honour the brave men who fought tirelessly for our freedom and the security of our beloved nation. Brace yourself for The Kokoda Challenge, where bravery meets compassion, and adventure meets a life-changing mission.
