Great Aussie Hike

They were there at every step.

From early morning set up to the final moments on course, our volunteers made this event what it was 💚.

If a smile, a helping hand or a perfectly timed snack kept you going - we’d love you to say thank you.

👉 Leave a message (and share your photos) below.

We’ll collate everything and pass it on to our incredible volunteer team.

Which distance will you choose?

NEW COURSE - Let's Walk Dandenong Ranges on May 2

When designing this course, we focused on your team's chosen distance as being the biggest challenge - not making you navigate a technical track.

Where possible we have used wider, established tracks, selected lowest elevations and ensured any climbs or descents are gradual.

This all makes our Dandenong Ranges course very achievable for all experience levels and allowing everyone to make it to the finish line.

Want to know more? Check out the info session recording now available on our website (link in comments). Its posted on each of the challenge distance pages.

Walk, talk, laugh and make unforgettable memories with your mates this October.

From the very first step to the finish line arch, you were the heartbeat of the Great Aussie Hike. To everyone who stepped up, showed up, and hiked it out with us - a HUGE thank you.

The Great Aussie Hike 2025 was more than just kilometres and Wellness Stops. It was about connection, resilience, laughs on the trail, helping each other through the tough spots, celebrating little wins along the way, showing up for yourself and your team.

As a volunteer led organisation, the Great Aussie Hike relies on the amazing generosity of hundreds of people to plan, prepare, build, cook and cheer you along your journey.
