EVENT DETAILS
This year, we’re taking the JLF Trek to the beautifully tropical South East Queensland. You’ll explore the stunning countryside around Enoggera, Lake Manchester, Lake Glorious, Mount Nebo and The Gap whilst trekking 84km, 42km, 23km or 12km in the name of bowel cancer prevention.
Captain Hugo Toovey of the Australian Army will lead our inaugural Queensland Trek. Hugo's life drastically changed in 2013 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, while he was fighting (and beating) this he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018. If it wasn't for early detection Hugo's chances of survival would have been very different. Hugo's continues to promote awareness and prevention throughout Australia, and as our Youth Ambassador.
Gather yourself and your friends and test your fitness, enjoy the spirit of camaraderie in the great outdoors. The Trek ends with nibbles and drinks to celebrate reaching the finish line.
Places will be limited.

Fundraising
Did you know that we rely on fundraisers like yourself so we can continue to raise awareness for bowel cancer prevention? And with bowel cancer still the second most common cancer in Australia we have a lot more work to do!
We have a set minimum goal for each group:
- 84km – individual fundraising target $500
- 42km – individual fundraising target $500
- 23km – individual fundraising target $500

If the event is cancelled, re-routed or shortened, no refund of registration fees, fundraising monies or transfer to another JLF Trek event will be made. Due to the nature of our events and the months of preparation involved, the event will not be re-scheduled to any other weekend. We also reserve the right to change the route or checkpoint locations or distances as necessary. Any changes will be communicated to participants prior to the event.
