Bridgewater Bay, Blairgowrie -FITNESS 10km

FITNESS HIKER - Event Leader - Michael

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.

Get ready for an epic coastal hike toward Rye! We've mapped an incredible route that winds through coastal shrubs with jaw-dropping views of Bass Strait, where the waves crash dramatically below the cliff tops. Feel the salty breeze as you snap photos to make your friends and family a little jealous of your new found adventures!

Expect some sandy patches and exposed tree roots along the way. We'll keep a moderate pace, so you'll definitely work up a bit of a sweat, but nothing too tough.

We can't wait to share this gorgeous trek with you as we explore Bridgewater Bay, Pearses Beach, and Dimmicks Beach. Prepare to be amazed and keep your camera handy—this is one adventure you won't want to forget!
