About the Canungra Combat Challenge

Challenge Yourself. Make a Difference.

Canungra Combat Challenge (C3) is the only endurance event held on an active Australian military base.

On 14 June 2025, you and your team will take on a true test of strength, teamwork, and resilience at Kokoda Barracks. From soldier exercises designed by the Army to a tough obstacle course and the Memorial Bush Trail, every part of this challenge will push you to your limits.

You'll tackle cargo nets, tunnel crawls, balance walks, and barbed wire fences, testing your endurance and mateship along the way. The Memorial Bush Trail will take you through the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam Memorial, a moment to reflect and honour those who served.

This isn’t just a challenge—it’s a chance to give back. Rally your crew, dig deep, and be part of something bigger.
How do I pick between Adventurer and Challenger?

Not sure which course is right for you?

Whether you’re in it for a bit of fun, a solid challenge, or the full military experience, there’s an option for everyone. 

Adventurer Course (approx. 7km) – A Fun, Achievable Challenge 

This is the perfect choice if you want to test yourself, work as a team, and have a great time—without the pressure of having to complete every obstacle. 

  • Go at your own pace – Whether you want to walk, jog, or run, it’s up to you. 
  • Know what to expect – Before the event, you’ll get a full list of obstacles 
  • It’s all about effort, not perfection – This course is designed to be challenging but achievable for all fitness levels. 

The Adventurer Course is great if you want to have fun, push yourself a little, and be part of an awesome event—without needing to go full army mode. 



Challenger Course (approx. 10km) – The Full Military Experience 

If you’re looking for a proper challenge and want to push yourself to the limit, this is the one for you. The Challenger Course is the real deal—longer, tougher, and packed with obstacles designed to test your strength, endurance, and teamwork. 

  • No pre-race obstacle list – You’ll go in blind, just like a real military course. 
  • More obstacles, more teamwork – You’ll need to work together to get through it all. 
  • The closest you’ll get to a real army challenge – It’s tough, unpredictable, and incredibly rewarding. 

If you want to test yourself both physically and mentally, take on the Adventurer Course and see what you’re really made of.
