The JLF Trek is an endurance event designed to challenge you physically and mentally. A medium to high level of fitness is required but with the right preparation and attitude you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. Whether you complete the full two-day event or a shorter section, this weekend will leave you inspired and ready to take on the world.
The JLF Trek will see you hiking through beautiful McLaren Flat and Kuitpo regions, taking in spectacular countryside, national parks and forests.
This year, we are dedicating The JLF Trek SA 2023 in honour of Sarah Black.
Sarah was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2017. Sarah fought bravely and was an inspiration to all who knew her. She was tough, courageous, outspoken, vibrant and funny.
Sadly Sarah lost her battle in 2022. Her story is a familiar one for many young people who are diagnosed with bowel cancer.
