Less than 1% of Australians have conquered the legendary Kokoda Track—and even fewer have taken on the ultimate test: a double crossing. This October, Mark Hughes, MHF Ambassador Danny Buderus, and a team of 20 trekkers will embark on an epic 192km journey across the treacherous Kokoda Track—not once, but twice in just 12 days.
The courageous team of trekkers will face the ultimate test of endurance on the Kokoda Track, tackling a punishing double crossing over 12 days. From Owers Corner to Kokoda and back, the challenge will see them navigate relentless climbs, steep descents, and dense jungle. They will ascend Mt. Bellamy, cross Ua Ule Creek 22 times, and battle the brutal Brigade Hill climb.
Paying tribute to Australian soldiers who fought on these historic grounds, the team will hold commemorative services at key battlegrounds. After days of physical and mental trials, the journey will end at the Bomana War Cemetery, where they will reflect on their incredible achievement and the enduring legacy of Kokoda.
