Trail Walk Re-Cap From Sunday 28 April

30 trail walkers from Drive Fitness meet at Silky Oaks Picnic area at Mt Cootha to tackle a fun but challenging trail walk on Sunday 28 April.

We trekked along the Powerful Owl Trail to Channel 9, then down the Kokoda Track to the Gap Creek Reserve where we stopped for a five minute rest and refuelling break. We then returned via the same tracks. It was a testing experience, made all the more challenging by log carrying, the wearing of weighted vests and push ups, pull ups and dips along the way!

Well done to everyone who came along for the trek. A special thanks to Alan, Emily and Jared for their assistance on the day. The feedback has been excellent and many requests for the next Drive fitness trail walk have already been made. 

Stay tuned to our blog, facebook & twitter for more information about Drive Fitness trail walks and other events! We look forward to seeing you at the next one and seeing our trail walking group grow.

Trail Walk Re-Cap From Sunday 26 August

On Sunday we had a crew of 12 members and friends join us for our inaugural trailwalk at Binna Burra on the Gold Coast hinterland.

Most tackled the undulating 12 kilometre course with trainers Nathan and Jared. This was made even more eventful with the inclusion of timed 5 minute log carry challenges! Well done to all hikers who passed this challenge wth flying colours. Some members of this walk decided to continue on and also trekked down to Kweenbani caves to give themselves even more of a workout.

Other brave souls tackled the 17 kilometre track, lead by perennial Drive fitness hiker Alan Currie (a big thanks for this Al). By all accounts a cracking pace was set with this group and all members returned fatigued but smiling.

The track provided some amazing scenery with Coomera falls providing the highlight of our trail walking at the rest and turn around point for the 12 km hikers. It is a south Queensland sight that is well worth seeing.

Stay tuned for our next trailwalk in upcoming months.

We'll look forward to seeing you there.
