Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival

The Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival takes place on 23 August 2026 at Legacy Way Car Park, Mount Coot-tha, Queensland 4066. The event evolved from the Mountain Goat Trail Series, which previously ran over three days across three months, into a single day that gathers multiple races on shared trails and a common finish line.

The programme includes a short kids loop and two longer trail races. Each course uses singletrack, climbs, and descents on the Mt Coot-tha trails. Prices are shown as inclusive of mandatory charges, items, and fees.

Distances

  • Billy The Kid - 2 km kids loop
  • Hightail - 12 km fast, flowing course
  • Surefoot - 21.1 km half marathon distance

Billy The Kid is described as a safe loop for very young runners; parents and carers may run alongside. Hightail is presented as an entry-level trail race with a mix of smooth singletrack and rolling climbs. Surefoot is framed as a half marathon that features technical trails and sustained climbs. Early bird and standard pricing windows are listed for Hightail and Surefoot, and a single price is listed for Billy The Kid. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
