SUMMARY:Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge from 18 to 19 July 2026 is Australia’s toughest team endurance event. \nIt is a grueling\, 96km cross-country trek through the spectacular Gold Coast hinterland. These numbers hold special significance in the history of the 1942 Kokoda Campaign; 96km is the exact length of the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. The time limit of 39 hours is in honour of the 39th Battalion\, who were the first troops to defend Australia along the Kokoda Track. \nOther distances includes 30km and 48km. \n \nEach team of 3-5 participants (with the help of their Support Crew) treks the 96km course along fire trails\, crossing creeks and climbing summits of over 4\,000m of vertical elevation. 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. \nOther Kokoda Challenge events are held in Sunshine Coast\, Brisbane and Sydney. \nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:National Pyjama Day
DESCRIPTION:Proudly hosted by The Pyjama Foundation\, National Pyjama Day invites Australians to throw on their favourite PJs\, host a fun-filled event\, and help make a difference for children in foster care. \nEvery dollar raised helps The Pyjama Foundation recruit\, screen\, train\, and support dedicated volunteers who work one-on-one with children in foster care through the Love of Learning Program. \nThrough the Program\, volunteer mentors known as Pyjama Angels spend time each week reading with children\, helping with homework\, building confidence\, and encouraging a love of learning.
