EVENT DETAILS

The JLF Trek will take place between Mylor and Myponga, through the beautiful Kuitpo Forest and stunning Fleurieu Peninsula countryside. The event ends with our infamous finish line celebration, complete with a hearty meal, drinks and live music.

Don’t miss out on this incredible challenge. Places are limited.

This is an endurance event, designed to challenge you physically and mentally. A medium to high level of fitness is required and with the right preparation and attitude you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Whether you complete the full 80km – or do one day or just sections of the Trek – we know you will be challenged, inspired and extremely proud of what you have achieved.

The Friends of the Heysen Trail voluntarily build and maintain the waking trail and mark it with distinctive red arrow markers to help hikers stay on the track. These can sometimes be difficult to follow if you are not paying attention, so be prepared for some orienteering.

To provide detailed event logistics and safety information, a compulsory event briefing will be held on Thursday 14 May at 6.00pm.
