Veteran Games Challenge Manly 2026
The Veteran Games Challenge Manly takes place at North Steyne Reserve on Manly Beach, New South Wales on 15 and 16 August 2026. The event is open to the public; non-veterans compete in pairs for a place at the Veteran Games Finals in South East Queensland later in the year.
The format is a military-inspired fitness course that tests endurance, teamwork and resilience. Teams compete as pairs and pay a fee of A$75 per person. Entry is by team only; solo entries are not accepted.
The on-course structure includes five rounds with five military-inspired stations, and a run of 500 m between each station. The target completion time for the full course is about 30 minutes. Participants are advised to wear comfortable active wear; long pants are recommended, and boots or sneakers are appropriate footwear.
The event is presented by Veteran Support Force and is arranged over a weekend at a new location on Manly Beach. Information on event days and registration windows is available from the organiser. The challenge is positioned as an opportunity for civilians and fitness enthusiasts to experience a Veteran Games style competition in a public setting.
