Is anyone participating in the Kokoda challenge this year? If you are I'd love to know how you are preparing for it.

Some mates asked me to join to which I said yes and now that i have looked up what it actually involves, I am absolutely shitting myself as I have never participated in an endurance event let alone a 96km one.

Course map

mate of mine has done it a few times.

last time he did it with 5 girls, just made them go do long walks for a couple of months leading up to the challenge.

hes always finished it, so his training method must work.

My missus did it last, it is pretty brutal

It had pissed down rain in the days leading up to it and on the day so everything was muddy whi h made it all worse

Hot tip: don't have a cold quarter pounder and a run and coke at a rest stop at 2am. You won't finish.
