True Grit Melbourne at Wildwood Rock Enduro

True Grit Melbourne is a military‑inspired obstacle course event held at Wildwood Rock Enduro in Wildwood, VIC on 28 November 2026. The event offers mixed terrain and location‑specific obstacles built into the natural landscape.

Participants can choose between three course options:

  • 10 km Elite : timed competitive wave with podium prizes, minimum age 16 years
  • 10 km : classic course option, minimum age 16 years
  • 5 km : shorter course with 15+ obstacles, minimum age 12 years

Obstacles designed for this location include A Frame, Monkey Bars, Pontoon Bridges, Sandbag Carry, Cargo, Tyre Wall and The Big Climb. The Elite wave requires athletes to attempt every obstacle and carries a penalty of 20 burpees for each failed or missed obstacle. Only the Elite wave is officially timed and places are awarded for top finishers.

Event services include a finisher t-shirt, electrolyte drink and optional finisher beer on completion, access to medical treatment, on‑course water provision and bag drop. Spectators attend free; on‑site parking is available for a fee per vehicle. Teams of any size can register under the same team name, with a recommended minimum of two people to assist on some obstacles.
