The 96KM Challenge

Why 96km?

The Kokoda Track marks the course of one of the most important battles for Australians in the Second World War. The men who defended this rugged 96km track were the only line of defence protecting Australia from imminent invasion.

Now you can take your own virtual 96km challenge this March to help our brave veterans.

Join us as we March On to support and raise funds for Soldier On's life-changing mental health services and programs so that our returned ADF members and their families can march on.
