The KB Group Sponsors The DAD's Army Kokoda Challenge Team


The KB Group is proud to be a Gold sponsor of the DAD’s Army Team in this years Kokoda Challenge.

Kokoda Challenge: 
THE GOLD COAST KOKODA CHALLENGE IS HAILED AS AUSTRALIA'S TOUGHEST ENDURANCE EVENT.
Participants will trek a 96km course that leads along fire trails, crosses 12 creeks and summits 5,000m of vertical elevation. The goal is to finish as a complete team of four in honour of the spirit forged on the Kokoda Track in 1942: mateship, endurance, courage and sacrifice. 
Regardless of your fitness level, age or background, people from all walks of life will find participating in the Kokoda Challenge is not only a great personal achievement, but a way to honour the Kokoda legacy and support local teenagers to gain a brighter future for themselves and their families through the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program.
Youth Program objectives
  • To teach young people that their achievements in life are directly related to the effort they contribute, whether that be at school, work, professionally or in personal relationships.
  • To teach young people that the consequences of choices they make will have a profound effect on their happiness, future, lifestyle and what they achieve.
