About the Trek
KUITPO FOREST
JUPITER CREEK
MOUNT COMPASS
7 & 8 AUGUST 2020
SOLD OUT!
The JLF Trek is an endurance event designed to challenge you physically and mentally. A medium to high level of fitness is required but with the right preparation and attitude you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. Whether you complete the full two-day event or a shorter section, this weekend will leave you inspired and ready to take on the world.
The JLF Trek SA in 2020 is special as it marks our 10th anniversary year.
Taking place between Jupiter Creek and Mount Compass, you will trek through the beautiful Kuitpo Forest and stunning Fleurieu Peninsula countryside. The event ends with our infamous finish line celebration at Fox Gordon Winery complete with a hearty meal, drinks and live music.
The Friends of the Heysen voluntarily 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.
Registrations close on Friday 24 July 2020 unless sold out prior and places are strictly limited. Don't miss out on this incredible challenge.
