Imagine trekking through the breathtaking Snowy Mountains, surrounded by rugged alpine beauty, crisp mountain air, and a team of like-minded adventurers by your side. Over three unforgettable days, you’ll cover 18km of stunning terrain, pushing your limits, building lifelong memories, and raising vital funds to support Australia’s incredible Para-athletes.
This isn’t just a trek. It’s a journey with purpose.
Join a Gold Medallist on an Extraordinary Mission
Leading the way is Paralympic gold medalist Jed Altschwager. After losing his leg in a workplace accident in 2015, Jed faced a choice, focus on what he’d lost or discover what was still possible. He chose the latter. Through determination, grit, and the power of sport, Jed found his calling in rowing. His resilience took him all the way to the Paris Paralympic Games, where he claimed gold alongside his doubles partner.
Now, Jed is inviting you to follow in his footsteps both literally and figuratively by joining the Paralympics Australia Mt Kosciuszko Trek, a three-day adventure from 28–30 November 2025.
This experience is about more than reaching a summit. It’s about stepping up for something bigger. Every step you take helps fund programs that empower people with disabilities through sport. The money you raise supports Paralympics Australia in providing the training, equipment, and pathways that help Para-athletes reach their potential.
By joining the trek, you’ll help ensure more Australians with disabilities can participate in sport—whether it’s at a grassroots level or the world stage.
