Arthurs Seat - Challenger - Fitness Hiker 10km's

FITNESS HIKER - Event Leader - Taryn

A fitness hiker enjoys walking with purpose, maintaining a moderate to brisk pace throughout the hike. These hikes, ranging from 10-20 kilometres, are focused on building endurance and challenging the body, often leaving you a little sweaty by the end. Your heart rate will increase!!!

Expect a mix of terrain, including sand, inclines, and steps, designed to keep your heart rate up and maximise calorie burning.

While the pace is faster and breaks are fewer, there’s still time to pause, catch your breath, take in the surroundings, and capture the moment with a photo or two. Fitness hikers value the balance between intensity and enjoyment, pushing their limits while connecting with others who share the same goals of staying fit and active in the outdoors. These hikes are perfect for those who want to elevate their fitness and enjoy the challenge of more demanding trails.

YOU WILL REQUIRE GOOD STAMINA FOR THIS HIKE.

Are you ready for a challenge???

Join us for a thrilling adventure on the Two Bays Walking Track, where you might just spot local kangaroos enjoying their breakfast by the trail!
