WE'RE HIKING FOR MENTAL HEALTH
In 2026, Coastrekkers will be hiking for mental health and fundraising for Beyond Blue.
Through our 12-week Training Program and national series of team hiking events, Coastrek can play a vital role in helping people manage anxiety and depression and improve their mental, physical and social wellbeing, while raising funds for the Beyond Blue 24/7 Support Service.
Every step you take with Coastrek can make a real impact on your own mental health and help ensure support is there when needed for those you love and for all Australians.

LEARN MORE ABOUT COASTREK MORNINGTON PENINSULA
What is Coastrek and how does this charity challenge work?
Coastrek is Australia’s premier hiking challenge for women (and some lucky men!). On the Mornington Peninsula, you’ll join a team of four to trek along some of Victoria’s most spectacular coastal trails. It’s not a race; it’s a charity challenge designed to get you outdoors, fit, and feeling fabulous while raising vital funds for Beyond Blue.
Why should I sign up for the Mornington Peninsula Coastrek?
If you’re looking for a goal that combines fitness, friendship, and fresh air, this is it! Beyond the physical achievement, Coastrek is one of the most beloved Melbourne charity walks because of the life-changing impact it has on participants. You’ll explore hidden beaches, rugged clifftops, and iconic coastal tracks, all while being cheered on by an incredible community.
What are the mental health benefits of walking in nature?
At Coastrek, we believe in the power of the "Blue Mind"—the calm and clarity found near the water. When you walk for mental health, you aren't just supporting a cause; you are investing in your own resilience. The mental health benefits of walking are amplified when you take it off the pavement and into nature. Training on the trails and participating on event day helps reduce stress, improves mood, and provides a sense of peace that only the great outdoors can provide.
How does my participation support Beyond Blue?
Every dollar raised by our trekkers goes directly to Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service. This service ensures that no one in Australia has to take their mental health journey alone, providing 24-hour access for those experiencing anxiety, depression, or going through a tough time.
Why is Coastrek one of the best wellbeing programs for employees?
Looking to boost morale and connection in your workplace? Coastrek is one of the most effective wellbeing programs for employees because it fosters deep connection outside of the office. Building a team and training together creates a unique bond and a sense of shared purpose. This building of community within your group truly shines on event day, as teams support each other through every kilometer, creating lasting memories and a healthier, happier workforce.
What is the "Coastrek Spirit" on event day?
The atmosphere on event day is electric! It’s the culmination of weeks of training and connection. You’ll experience a powerful sense of belonging as hundreds of trekkers hit the trails together. The building of community is what makes Coastrek special—from the "Luv-Stops" to the finish line celebrations, you are surrounded by people walking for a common goal.
