A part of the track we were dreading after the walk last year because it has such a steep hill, Hacketts Rd. It just keeps going up and up and up.

All about Purple Monkeys

We are the Purple Monkeys: Kath Mann, Maz Palmer, Bec Stone and Todd Synon. We got the idea for our name last year when we were doing the Trailwalker. Bec was wearing a purple jumper and we decided to over take some people by running passed them and another team screamed out run Purple Monkey run. We thought it was hilarious so we made it our team name for this year. Last year three of our team members walked the trail and this year we plan to run the majority of it We're planning on having a movie night fundraiser to help reach our target. We have been running every weekend to train for this challenge.
