HIGHTAIL
A popular mid-distance trail run that takes you through some of the most iconic tracks on the mountain, including the stunning yet technical Eugenia Circuit. Hightail is the perfect start to your Sunday morning! Known for its fast downhill finish, this race has delivered blistering times over the years. Are you ready to push your limits?
BILLY
Debuting in 2022 to rave reviews, Billy the Kid has cemented its place in the Mountain Goat Trail Series. Set on scenic scout camping grounds in Moggill, this race takes you through lush, rainforest-like trails on an 8km loop—twice! Rally your second-lap mojo with cheers and high fives from spectators as you head back out to conquer the course again.
SUREFOOT
The ultimate challenge in the Mountain Goat Trail Series! This 21km course will push your climbing legs to the limit as you conquer the summit of Mt Coot-Tha not once, but three times. Test your grit, embrace the climbs, and cross the finish line to earn Strava Kudos and well-deserved finish-line hugs. Are you ready to take it on?
