Over 600 teams of 4 will take part in Trailwalker Melbourne on the weekend of 11-13 April 2008. Their challenge: to walk (or run!) 100km within 48 hours! The 2008 trail will follow a similar route to 2007, starting at Jells Park in Wheelers Hill and finishing at Wesburn Park in the Yarra Valley.Oxfam Trailwalker is the world's greatest team challenge. And it's also one of the toughest. The challenge is to get your team of four across 100km of Australian bush in less than 48 hours - and, collectively, to raise at least $1,000 to help to overcome poverty and suffering around the world. Oxfam Trailwalker is all about teamwork - it is a great way for friends to bond or for work colleagues to develop team spirit. You need to start together, go through each checkpoint together, and finish together. You'll have to train and fundraise together beforehand. Oxfam Trailwalker is challenging - but you don't need to be a marathon runner or a professional athlete to do it. Whether you are a team of bankers, over 40 mums, running buddies, university mates, with training, and the right mental attitude, just about anyone can complete it. Each team must commit to raising at least $1000 to support Oxfam's work in 26 countries including Indigenous Australia. By raising money for Oxfam Australia you will be making a tremendous difference to people's lives. Fundraising is a challenge, but it's also great fun!
