When you sign up to Trek, you agree to raise the minimum of $450 required by the day of the Event. 

If you have not raised the minimum required, there are a few options. You can make a tax deductable self donation to your fundraising page on the day to bring your fundraising up to the minimum required to participate. Or you could choose to pull out of the event. Note that we cannot offer refunds on registration fees or money raised if you choose to withdraw. 

Fundraising may sound daunting, but it's often easier than you think. Check out our Fundraising Tips and Resources page for ideas. Whether you sell fundraising chocolates, have a bake sale, put a poster up at work, host a movie night, or ask people to give up their takeaway coffee for a few weeks and donate the money to your page, you'd be surprised how quickly the money adds up. 

Give us a call if you need more ideas. We're here to help!

Most teams will walk part of the trail in the dark. We recommend doing at least one training walk at night time so that you can be prepared physically and mentally for event day.

We suggest you walk the last section of the event trail prior to the event in the dark as this will be where most people will be walking during darkness. 

For more information about each section of the trail, visit our Trail Page. 

Yes. Please ensure you are familiar with the event rules prior to the event. 

You will also be required to watch a compulsory safety briefing video in the lead up to the Event. The link will be emailed to you in May 2022.

While you don’t need a support crew for Trek, getting some friends and family involved to help you get to and from the Start Line will make your Trek experience more enjoyable.

Parking is limited at the Start Line, plus you will be walking 50kms away from your car.

We advise you to recruit some friends or family members to drop you off to the Start Line registration and pick you up from the Finish Line.

Most people will take between 17-19 hours to walk the 50km trail. It is likely that you will cross the Finish Line somewhere between 10pm Saturday night and 2am Sunday morning. Of course, this could vary greatly depending on your level of fitness and preferred walking speed.

We recommend that you organise to have friends or family members pick you up and drive you home if it is relatively close by. Or consider booking some accommodation nearby so you can shower rest and enjoy a celebratory breakfast before heading home the following day.

Your team will be allocated a start time a few weeks before the event by Camp Quality. Teams must start at the time they have been allocated. 

If you would like to choose your own start time from the allocated waves, your team will need to raise $5,000 per person. Check out the other Fundraisng Rewards on offer. 

Camp Quality supports children and families impacted by cancer. Many TREK participants will be from, or connected to, these families.  

To protect our community, some of whom are immune compromised and therefore exposed to greater risk in the current COVID-19 pandemic, proof of fully vaccinated status, or a recognised medical exemption*, is a condition of entry to this event.  

*If relying on a medical exemption, a negative result to a Rapid Antigen Test, supplied by Camp Quality free of charge, may be required.

Please note that Event participants’ COVID-19 vaccination certificates or medically sensitive information will not be collected or held by Camp Quality other than a simple Yes’/tick that we have sighted your vaccination certificate or medical exemption 

Camp Quality continues to monitor State and Federal Government advice and reserves the right to change the Event entry requirements pursuant to health guidelines or mandated restrictions in place at the time of the Event.

In short yes.

As an organisation dealing directly with those affected by cancer (in particular children) we have a responsibility to protect those individuals. With some TREK event participants walking to support a family member with a cancer diagnosis we need to minimise risk of transmission where possible.

We also continue to monitor both the State and Federal Government advice, and reserves the right to change our entry requirements, pursuant to health guidelines in place at the time of the event.  

For those with a valid medical exemption please contact Camp Quality so we are aware of your status. With a valid exemption provided to Camp Quality in advance of event you will be able to participate.

Vaccination certificates will be sighted by Camp Quality staff on the morning of event day as part of the registration process. Please ensure you have a downloaded copy of the certificate on your device in case there is limited internet connectivity in the National Park.

Camp Quality requests all event participants are fully vaccinated with at least two doses of a TGA approved vaccine that makes the individual eligible for a valid certificate issued by the Australian Immunisation Register.

Booster doses are encouraged but not mandatory at this time, however this may be subject to change in line with updated government advice/restrictions.  

Camp Quality respects everyone’s right to choose, however we also have to balance the risk to the community we support. We also continue to monitor both the State and Federal Government advice, and reserve the right to change our entry requirements, pursuant to health guidelines in place at the time of the event. 

Most people will take between 17- 19 hours to walk the entire 50km trail. 

Of course it depends on your level of fitness. You should only ever go as fast as the slowest member of your team. 

Please refer to the Trail page for more information on each section. 

The trail is predominantly bush and recreational trails with uneven surface. For this reason, it is not suitable for a pram. 

Please note that Trek is also restricted to participants 18 years old and over.

Printed map books will be mailed to all participants prior to the event. 

Downloadable maps for each section will be available on the website shortly. 

Camp Quality provides full support for the duration of event weekend and in the lead up to the event. This includes permits, fundraising support, printed map books, snacks and water, portaloos and of course, First Aid services.

Yes. It's for your safety.

Camp Quality will monitor participants’ arrivals at each Fun Stop. Where it is found that team members are separated, those participants at the Fun Stop need to wait for their team members.

Once everyone has reunited, and is well rested, you can continue on the next leg of your journey.
