Team Fibonacci’s Kokoda Challenge
It’s one bloody long sequence Well, the 2009 Kokoda Challenge has been run and won … not by us, but then we weren’t trying to win. We might be crazy, but we still claim to be human (unlike those to can run 96kms in half a day). We set ourselves the more realistic goal of [...]

We love the night life
Finally, a training session that didn’t start stupidly early in the morning. There was a lot of debate this week about what time we should start, how far we should walk, and which sections we should be doing. The only things that weren’t in doubt was that it was going to be a night session [...]

Team Insanity’s Kokoda Challenge
Team Insanity’s Kokoda Challenge Well after months of training the big weekend has finally come and gone. I’m a little surprised that I’m in a state of mind that allows me to even write this only one day after the event, but I guess I’m just riding the high of not just completing the challenge, [...]
Welcome Back Wayne
Today Wayne returned for the first time since our Border Track outing. He’s been busy jet setting around the world for both work and pleasure, although apparently he’s yet to master the art of the junket and actually did work while in India and the US. Wayne show true commitment to Team Insanity (and a [...]
Nerang State Forest And Mt Nathan
Team Insanity headed to the Gold Coast and onto the KC course for the second time to practice the Nerang State Forest sections (the last 17.5 kilometres of the course) and we’d picked an excellent weekend to opt for a later start (8.45 am as opposed to anything closer to dawn) given the crisp [...]
That Big Hill Is My Buddy
Section 1: Mudgeeraba to Hinterland Leisure Trail, 3.5km (Cumulative Distance = 3.5km) It was rather ‘fresh’ outside early on Saturday morning, but the nearly 700 people present were all fairly upbeat about the mammoth task ahead of them. Luckily the first 3.5km were fairly flat and consisted mostly paved footpath. We also had a police [...]
Mini Kokoda race
Team Vodka arrived at the Nerang Girl’s Guide club bright and early at 5:30am. A large gathering had already arrived and in the end over 300 competitors for the Mini Kokoda race (25km) and a dozen or so more for the Tamborine Trek solo and relay races (both 62km). Although it was quite cool in [...]
Mini Kokoda trail

On Sunday 13th May, 2007 we did the 27km hike through the Nerang State Forest to practice the actual course of the Mini Kokoda hike. The track is along 4WD gravel roads, but was mostly uneven [...]
