Event Overview
True Grit QLD is an obstacle course racing event held at Albert River Wines in Tamborine, Queensland, across 8–9 August 2026. The program includes 5km and 10km obstacle course races, along with a timed 10km Elite wave held on Saturday. Courses combine trail running with a range of military-style obstacles across the winery property and surrounding terrain. Participants start in scheduled waves, and the event supports both individual and team entries across the weekend.
What the Course Demands
This is a military-inspired obstacle course where progress depends on more than steady running. Expect frequent changes of pace, short bursts of effort, and repeated upper- and lower-body loading through carries, climbs, and crawling-style tasks. The course uses the venue’s natural setting, so exact distance can vary slightly. Elite entrants must attempt all obstacles, with penalties applied for failures.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who want their race day to include obstacle execution, transitions, and teamwork rather than a continuous run. The 5km option can work for newer participants building confidence, while the 10km is better for those comfortable sustaining effort over a longer outing with repeated interruptions. The Elite wave fits experienced competitors seeking a stricter ruleset and a timed result.
