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.

"A sense of self satisfaction, pushing past my comfort zone into the unknown. Breaking not physical but mental limitations set in my mind was powerful!"
- 2023
"Hiking for healthy hearts in Coastrek 2023 gave me the opportunity to connect more deeply with my team mates, get fitter and stronger and show my kids how to set a goal and see it through. They were very proud of me when I crossed the finish line."
- 2023
"I have never been a part of something so fulfilling and rewarding. To achieve far more than our fundraising goal with my mother and sister is something I will never forget. We had never done a marathon before. We will be back."

"It's an empowering, friendship bonding experience which is good for the heart, mind and soul. We talk about it for the months to follow. We re-laugh about the many good times and the more challenging parts of the trek and then start talking about the next."
