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.

Get ready for an adventure to Cape Woolamai, the highest point on Phillip Island! This track promises jaw-dropping views, including a stop at the Pinnacles Lookout. As we make our way to the beacon at Phillip Island’s peak, you’ll be treated to panoramic sights of Phillip Island, San Remo, Kilcunda, and beyond!

We’re in for a 10-kilometre trek that’s just a stone's throw from Melbourne, but it feels like a world away.

Expect some gorgeous beach walks along the way. Before you ask… no, the beach is nowhere near as soft as Portsea Back Beach 😆.

Don’t miss out on this unique trip as it’s not common for Walk MP to venture beyond the Peninsula!
