The 2024 Surf Coast Trek is set to break its fundraising records with over 1,200 trekkers signing up for the event held on Saturday 13 April 2024. This is the highest number of participants in its nine-year history.

Enjoying perfect weather conditions, trekkers made their way through the Ironbark Basin, across stunning exposed cliff tops, across long sandy beaches all with sweeping ocean views towards the festival-style finish line at Elephant Walk, Torquay. This year the finish line attracted plenty of local attention, providing food, drinks, music, and kids entertainment which was made even more enticing with the sunshine.

The Surf Coast Trek is the largest fundraising event each year for Kids+ and the Give Where You Live Foundation, supporting the vital services they provide to the Geelong region.

The Surf Coast Trek is a fundraising challenge, offering the unique opportunity to walk 40km or 26km along the spectacular Victorian Surf Coast, taking in spectacular scenery in a supported, community-centric environment.
