A big wild welcome to Coastrek, Australia’s most iconic charity hiking challenge for women.
The Sunshine Coast is a holiday paradise, creating a fun, vibrant setting for your Coastrek adventure.
We always put the ‘Coast’ in Coastrek, and we’ve taken full advantage of the Sunshine Coast beaches to create our sandiest route! Don’t worry, it’s flat hard packed sand, perfect for trekking with scenic highlights including the unique flora and fauna around the Maroochy River and spectacular coastal trails through Coolum and Peregian Beach, culminating in a vibrant, festival vibe at the Noosa Woods finish line with celebrations under the Coastrek Woohoo tent!
Noosa’s Hastings Street café, bar and restaurant strip awaits for post-event celebrations and a day trip into the hinterland townships of Eumundi, Montville and Maleney is a must-do.
The Sunshine Coast route is on the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi and Jinibara peoples. Noosa Heads was originally known as Wantima, meaning ‘climbing up’, but it was eventually given the name Noosa (Noothera) meaning ‘shady place’.
Only 90 minutes’ drive from Brisbane, or with direct flights into Sunshine Coast airport, Coastrek offers the ultimate active getaway with friends, hiking for healthy hearts in support of the Heart Foundation.

How our Sunshine Coast events work
Beautiful Sunshine Coast– Explore spectacular white sand beaches, picture-perfect coastal trails and jaw-dropping views of sparkling Queensland.

So, how does our fitness program in Sunshine Coast work? Our endurance event unfolds like this:
- The first step – create a team of four. Grab your friends, family, even your workmates!
- Together, commit to raising $2,000. That might sound like a pretty big goal, but it’s just $500 per person
- Train as a team and improve your fitness using our Coastrek Training Program
