Kokoda Walkers and Participants

Kokoda 96km 24hr Memorial Walk - Lara RSL

Event Introduction

On Saturday 21st, and Sunday 22nd of October, the Lara RSL will host a 24-hour, 96km walk around Lara, Little River and North Geelong. 96km replicates the length of the Kokoda Track. This will form part of our Veterans Health Week events raising vital funds for Soldier On.
Our brave servicemen and women have selflessly served our country, often sacrificing their physical and mental well-being to ensure our freedom and security. We believe that it is our duty as a grateful nation to provide them with the support and care they need to heal and reintegrate into society, and by contributing to this event, we are providing vital funds to support these initiatives.
