How Hard Is the Kokoda Track, and How Fit Do I Need to be

The short answer The Kokoda Track is a hard trek. It is 96 km as the crow flies, though GPS readings can show anywhere from 96 to 120 km of steep, muddy jungle trail with constant climbs and descents, high humidity and river crossings. It is not technical, though. Anyone in good general health who trains properly for three to six months can finish it.
