Virtual Hike Update: Fast Finishers, Milestone Moments & Fundraising for the Track
The 2025 Bibbulmun Track Virtual Hike Challenge is in full swing—and what a journey it’s been so far! From 1 June to 27 July, 189 participants in 92 teams are virtually trekking 1000km from Kalamunda to Albany, unlocking milestones, sharing stories and stepping up for the Track.
Here’s the latest from the trail!
The First 10 Teams Have Crossed the Virtual Finish Line!
The competition has been heating up, with the first 10 teams already completing the full 1000km. A huge congratulations to our fastest finishers:
- Team Heart of the South – Completed the challenge in record time on 16 June
- Team MCG – Finished on 26 June
- Team Booknboot – Crossed the line on 1 July
We’re incredibly impressed by the dedication and teamwork shown by all participants.
Top Contributors to Be Celebrated
In addition to team achievements, we’re recognising the Top 3 individual hikers who contributed the most kilometres to their team before their team completed the challenge. These individuals went above and beyond to get their team across the finish line!
Prizes for both the Top 3 teams and Top 3 individuals will be announced next week.

Why Fundraising Matters
The Virtual Hike Challenge is more than just a fitness goal—it’s a way to give back to the Track we all treasure. Participants are encouraged to raise funds through our official fundraising page:
👉 mycause.com.au/events/bibbulmuntrackvirtualhike
If every participant raises just $10, we can cover the costs of running the challenge and go further in supporting:
- Track maintenance and upgrades
- Volunteer programs
- Environmental conservation efforts
- Free access for all future walkers
Every dollar helps preserve the Bibbulmun Track for generations to come.
Still Walking? Keep Going!
Whether you’re halfway to Albany or just getting started, keep putting one foot in front of the other. There’s still plenty of time left to complete your hike, unlock milestones and raise funds for the Track.
Thank you for stepping up for the Bibbulmun—and for making this community challenge such a rewarding adventure.
