Course Overview
Team Member Withdrawal If a team member withdraws they
must do so at a checkpoint (unless in emergency situations)
The team member must try and arrange transport for themselves from that checkpoint
If 1 team member withdraws, that team is able to continue walking as a group of 3. However, if more than one team members withdraws you must wait at that checkpoint for another team to come through who is agreeable to you walking with their group
There MUST be a MINIMUM of 3 people WALKING TOGETHER at ALL TIMES.
When walking with another team, please advise the checkpoint Charlie at that checkpoints registration desk
Support CREW!!Compulsory support crew briefing after the start at Firth Park
Teams are to be self sufficient with food and drink and this is where support crew are required so you don’t have to carry it along the whole 96kms
There are 4 Major Support Crew Checkpoints:
4 Polly’s Kitchen6 Numinbah Hall8 Army Land11 Clagirba Reserve
NO generators or music.
Do not service your team at any other point or you risk disqualification
MORE on Support CREW
Communicate with your support crew about estimated arrival times at checkpoints to ensure they are on hand at all the major checkpoints. Encourage team to have contact with the Tracking System through the Kokoda Challenge Website.
Teams are limited to one support crew vehicle per team and this will be monitored with parking supervisors – please be considerate of others.
Read the new and updated support crew handbook
