Kokoda Challenge Sunshine Coast
The Kokoda Challenge team endurance event is back in the Sunshine Coast on 9 May 2026. Teams of 2-5 can choose to tackle 18km, 30km or 48km through Imbil State Forest starting from Kenilworth. The courses include almost 2,000 meters of elevation, crossing creeks and winding through dense rainforest.
