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.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND STARTING WITH ONE OF OUR "RELAXED HIKER" OR "MID PACE" HIKES FIRST AS YOU MUST KEEP UP WITH GROUP.

YOU WILL REQUIRE GOOD STAMINA FOR THIS WALK.

THIS IS A ONE-WAY HIKE

Join us this Good Friday for an epic one-way adventure, hiking from Arthurs Seat State Park to Main Ridge, covering approximately 15 kilometres of some of the Mornington Peninsula’s most stunning terrain.

We’ll set off from Arthurs Seat, the highest point on the Peninsula, offering sweeping views across Port Phillip Bay, stretching all the way to Melbourne on a clear day. After soaking in the sights, we’ll follow sections of the Two Bays Walking Track, winding through coastal bushland, lush fern gullies, and open forest before making our way to Main Ridge.

This is an exceptional hike that will test your endurance...but you’ll be so caught up in the camaraderie and conversation, you won’t even notice the kilometres ticking over! It’s the kind of walk you’ll be talking about with friends and colleagues long after the day is done.

Car Pooling Help Needed 🚗

We’re looking for 5 awesome people to help with car pooling. If you’re happy to help, we’d need you to meet us at the finish point (just 7 minutes down the road from the start). That way, we can leave your cars there ready for when we finish the hike and help transport everyone back to their cars at the end.

If you’re keen to put your hand up, we’d be super grateful! Just let us know.

Thanks so much!
