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.

Join us for a stunning hike from Blairgowrie to Rye! This adventure features a mix of beach walks and cliff-top paths, with the breathtaking Bass Strait by our side the entire way. Feel the invigorating salty air as we navigate the narrow coastal track, with waves crashing below us. This hike offers an excellent cardio workout paired with great company. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!

This hike is rated intermediate and is not suitable for beginners. A decent level of fitness and stamina is required. We maintain a steady pace but do stop occasionally for photos and snacks.
