In celebration of the trail’s 25th anniversary, the Bibbulmun Track Foundation is invites outdoor enthusiasts to join the Bibbulmun Track Virtual Hike Challenge.

Starting on 14th July, the immersive exploration of the 1000-kilometre Bibbulmun Track will follow in the footsteps of a group of walkers who will complete the Track from Kalamunda to Albany in real life to mark the anniversary.

Challenge participants will progress along a virtual map of the Track, discovering 32 milestones with photos and descriptions that bring the Bibbulmun Track to life.

To add to the experience, walkers can choose to raise funds to support the Foundation’s track maintenance efforts with 10% of funds raised going towards Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Conservation Centre, helping save Western Australia’s Black Cockatoos.

A line-up of prizes from challenge sponsors Anaconda, Sea to Summit, Small Things Wine, and Paddy Pallin will keep walkers motivated throughout the challenge.
