The challenge

A demanding journey with a purpose beyond the finish line.

Covering more than 250 kilometres on foot and over 27,000 metres of climbing and descending, the challenge is designed to test personal limits while honouring the legacy of the Kokoda Campaign and raising funds for meaningful causes.

The trek will be organised and supported by Aidan Grimes and Our Spirit Pty Ltd.

Why Kokoda?

A place of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice.

The Kokoda Track is one of Australia's most significant places of remembrance. Kokoda Double exists to challenge participants along the route where Australians and Papua New Guineans endured the hardships of the Kokoda Campaign in 1942, while creating a lasting positive impact for communities connected to the Track and supporting other worthwhile causes.
