Team Hammer had a sensation win in the gruelling Kokoda Challenge a 96km run/walk/crawl through the most rugged terrain possible in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

The Challenge is a cross-country, bushwalking team event over 96kms which represents the distance of the Kokoda Track, to be completed within 39 hours which symbolises the 39th Militia Battalion, the first of our Australian troops to arrive at Kokoda, 15 th July 1942.

All 4 members of the starting team need to finish.

Team Hammer Stun Officials

Team Hammer stunned the race organisers with a brilliant effort taking just over 12 hrs.

And according to Don Wallace, a legend in endurance running events, Hammer Nutrition products played a big part in the win (along with the many hours of training by the guys!).

“I have no problem at all with recommending Hammer Nutrition products to any endurance athlete. I have been involved in ultra running, in distances up to 100 km for 16 years and have used various products for fuelling.

I found that the information from Hammer Nutrition’s website was very good for any endurance athlete, from the complete novice to a seasoned competitor.

From my own experience there are quite a few choices on the market for fuelling in endurance events. Some are of little real value and other are simply a marketing gimmick.

“Remained Palatable Over The Duration…”

I found theHammer Nutrition products to be really developed well for their intended purpose. I was pleased to find the products remained palatable over the duration of the event and the range of products helped provide all nutritional needs.”

Thanks Don. And congratulations to the team on another amazing effort.
