LEARN MORE ABOUT COASTREK FLEURIEU PENINSULA
What is the Fleurieu Peninsula Coastrek and how does it work?
Coastrek is Australia’s premier coastal charity walk, designed to get you fit and feeling fabulous while making a difference. On the Fleurieu Peninsula, you’ll join a team of two or more to trek 20km or 35km along the spectacular Heysen Trail, past iconic spots like Victor Harbor and Granite Island, finishing in the charming village of Port Elliot. It’s a challenge of the heart, with every participant raising funds for Beyond Blue.
Why is Coastrek a great choice for a charity walk in Adelaide?
If you’re searching for a charity walk in Adelaide that offers more than just a city stroll, Coastrek is the ultimate weekend adventure. Located just over an hour from the CBD, this event allows you to swap the suburbs for rugged clifftops and pristine beaches. It is a powerful way to turn a fitness goal into a life-changing contribution to mental health awareness in South Australia.
What are the mental health benefits of walking in nature?
There is scientific magic in the "Blue Mind"—the sense of calm we feel when we are near the water. The mental health benefits of walking are significantly boosted when you take your training and event day onto the trails. Immersing yourself in the wild, coastal beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula helps reduce stress, clears the mind, and fosters a deep sense of peace. We believe that by walking in nature, you aren't just supporting a cause; you are actively improving your own mental wellbeing.
How does my walking support mental health?
When you walk for mental health with Coastrek, your fundraising goes directly to Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service. This vital service ensures that every person in Australia can access free, confidential support at any time of day or night. Your steps help ensure that no one has to face their journey alone.
Why is Coastrek one of the top wellbeing programs for employees?
Coastrek is a standout among wellbeing programs for employees because it builds resilience and connection outside the office walls. Training as a corporate team encourages colleagues to support one another, fostering a healthy workplace culture and long-term wellness habits. This building of community within your group is what truly shines on event day, as the shared achievement creates a bond that lasts long after you've crossed the finish line.
What is the community spirit like on event day?
The atmosphere on the Fleurieu Peninsula is one of pure "Coastrek Spirit." The building of community starts during your 12-week training program and culminates in an electric event day where thousands of trekkers cheer each other on. Whether you are spotting whales during the migration season or high-fiving at a Luv-Stop, you’ll feel part of a supportive, passionate movement dedicated to health and happiness.
Explore our other charity walks for mental health in beautiful locations such as: Mornington Peninsula, Sunshine Coast, Sydney and Margaret River for the perfect weekend getaway.
