Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival
In 2026 the Mountain Goat Trail Series becomes the Mt Coot-Tha Trail Festival, a one-day trail running event on August 23, 2026 at Legacy Way Car Park, Mount Coot-tha, Queensland, Australia 4066. The festival consolidates races that previously ran across three days into a single day with all races sharing the same trails and finish area.
The event program includes multiple races with distinct distances and formats:
- Billy The Kid - 2 km kids loop; parents and carers may run alongside
- Hightail - 12 km course mixing smooth singletrack, rolling climbs and descents
- Surefoot - 21.1 km half marathon over technical trails with rolling climbs and descents
Course descriptions note a variety of trail surfaces and terrain. Hightail is presented as an entry point to trail running with flowing sections and climbs. Surefoot is described as a half marathon distance that includes technical trail sections and offers broad views from the course.
Pricing is listed for each race and shown amounts include mandatory charges, items, and fees. The published race fees are A$25 for Billy The Kid, A$99 for Hightail, and A$149 for Surefoot. The event places races and runners together on the same trails and finish area to create a single festival day focused on trail running and community.
