Kokoda Challenge Brisbane Results

Congratulations to everyone from Drive Fitness who completed the 30km Kokoda Challenge Brisbane on the 3 June. It's a great accomplishment and you should be very proud of your fitness and mental toughness.The wet conditions made the already tough event even tougher.

All participants who started made it to the finish and from all reports everyone enjoyed the challenge but no one is committing to doing it again - at least not at this stage! The track involved 30km of slippery inclines, thigh high creek crossings and unrelenting hills that went for kilometres. We will get photos up on our facebook page over the next few days.
