WE'RE HIKING FOR MENTAL HEALTH
In 2026, Coastrekkers will be hiking for mental health and fundraising for Beyond Blue.
Through our 12-week Training Program and national series of team hiking events, Coastrek can play a vital role in helping people manage anxiety and depression and improve their mental, physical and social wellbeing, while raising funds for the Beyond Blue 24/7 Support Service.
Every step you take with Coastrek can make a real impact on your own mental health and help ensure support is there when needed for those you love and for all Australians.

LEARN MORE ABOUT COASTREK SUNSHINE COAST
What is the Sunshine Coast Coastrek and how does it work?
Coastrek is Australia’s premier coastal charity walk, taking you through the breathtaking beauty of the Noosa region and the Sunshine Coast. You’ll hike in a team of four, choosing a distance that challenges you, all while soaking up the salt air and sunshine. It’s a trek with heart, as every step helps raise vital funds for Beyond Blue.
Why is Coastrek a top choice for a charity walk near Brisbane?
If you are looking for a charity walk in Brisbane or South East Queensland, Coastrek offers the perfect escape from the city. Just a short drive north, our event transforms a standard weekend into a life-changing experience. It’s more than just a walk; it’s a journey of self-discovery and a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of Australians seeking mental health support.
How does a nature walk near Brisbane improve my wellbeing?
There is something truly healing about the Sunshine Coast’s white sands and turquoise waters. Seeking out a nature walk in Brisbane’s backyard allows you to disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with yourself. We focus on the mental health benefits of walking, emphasising that the combination of physical movement and the natural environment helps lower cortisol and boost clarity.
Why should I choose to walk for mental health?
When you walk for mental health, the impact is twofold. Firstly, you are ensuring that Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service remains available for anyone in need, at any time. Secondly, the act of training and completing the trek provides an incredible boost to your own psychological resilience. It’s an empowering way to turn a personal fitness goal into a beacon of hope for others.
Can Coastrek work as one of our wellbeing programs for employees?
Absolutely! Coastrek is one of the most rewarding wellbeing programs for employees because it takes team-building out of the boardroom and onto the trails. The building of community starts months before the event as colleagues train together, supporting one another through the highs and lows. On event day, that camaraderie truly shines, fostering a culture of health, empathy, and shared success that translates back into the workplace.
What makes the Coastrek community so special?
The magic of Coastrek lies in the collective energy of thousands of people walking toward a common goal. The building of community within your own team—and with the trekkers you meet along the way—creates an atmosphere of pure joy and support. Whether you're sharing a laugh at a Luv-Stop or a quiet moment of reflection on the beach, you are part of a movement that celebrates strength and connection.
