Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival, 23 August 2026

Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival is a one-day trail running event held at Legacy Way Car Park, Mount Coot-tha, Queensland on 23 August 2026. The event evolves from the Mountain Goat Trail Series and replaces the previous format that spanned three days over three months by bringing all races together on a single day.

The program includes a kids race and two adult distances that use the same trails and finish area. Course descriptions provided by the organiser note a mix of singletrack, rolling climbs and descents across the routes.

Registration fees apply and published entry prices include mandatory charges and fees. The organiser lists early bird and standard pricing windows for main distances and a set fee for the children’s race.

Distances included

  • Billy The Kid : 2 km kids loop with parents and carers welcome alongside
  • Hightail : 12 km fast, flowing singletrack with rolling climbs and descents
  • Surefoot : 21.1 km half marathon on technical trails with rolling climbs and descents

The event is presented as a single-day gathering of trail runners that brings together youth and longer distance races on shared trails and a common finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
