Web Content Area INTRODUCTION The Porcupine Gorge National Park Challenge is in its 12th year, with the event successfully growing each year. The 2012 Challenge will be held on the weekend of the 16th and 17th June. This unique event challenges participants with a diverse 8km course through the base of the Porcupine Gorge National Park, 74km north of Hughenden. The Challenge is open to many fields of participants, from serious runners to bushwalkers, with categories for open men’s and ladies, first local resident under 16, and 12 years and under girls and boys. Participation walks are also available for the “not so serious” participants. The 2010 Challenge saw the introduction of a second event held at Mount Walker on Sunday after the Porcupine Gorge Challenge. This ‘Fun Run’ had categories for seniors, juniors, teams and novelty prizes, and will be continued in 2012. Flinders Shire Council continues to support the event and 2012 will see major marketing and promotion as a result of funding which has again been received through the Queensland Events Regional Development Fund. In addition to this support, sponsorship is also vital to ensure the event’s success. The development of a more professional image with a new logo, website and online registration for participants was completed in 2010. The website has become one of the event’s major marketing tools, enabling us to keep participants informed.
