Kokoda Challenge Sydney
The Kokoda Challenge Sydney returns from 19 to 20 September 2026 for an unforgettable team-based adventure. Setting off from Helensburgh, your team of 3-4 people can choose to traverse the 18km, 48km or 96km course through the stunning Royal National Park and Heathcote National Park. The 96km event is to honour the distance of the real Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. The goal is to finish as a complete team in honour of the spirit forged on the Kokoda Track in 1942: courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice.
