Brisbane Kokoda Challenge Date Announcement: 3 June 2012


Registration opens 14 March. Drive Fitness will be helping to organise and enter teams. For more details contact Dave on 0402 358 127 or dave@drivefitness.net
In honour of the Kokoda Spirit, this 30km event winds through some of Brisbane’s toughest terrain.
The track undulates through the green scenery in the west of Brisbane Forest Park. Starting at Brookfield Showgrounds, you and your team will make your way up to the half way checkpoint at McAfee’s Lookout, before returning to showgrounds via the tropical terrain of D’Aguilar National Park, reminiscent of the Owen Stanley Ranges in Papua New Guinea.
The 30k distance, coupled with wide open fire trails, makes this the perfect event for beginners or runners having a hit out. Teams of two, three and four will find the course is not without toils, as you descend down to a creek bed you encounter a sharp turn onto a narrow trail aptly named ‘hell hole’ - ensuring that you don’t forget the meaning of endurance before arriving at the finish line.
If you want to test your fitness (and toughness) this event is for you!
