True Grit, Australia’s only locally owned and operated obstacle course race, has announced an expanded event program for 2024 with races to take place from March to October in NSW, South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia and, for the first time, Victoria.

Situated on the Hawkesbury River in Lower Portland, Dargle Farm provides a picturesque setting complete with grasslands, temperate rainforest, dense swamps, granite escarpments, and towering sandstone cliffs. Conveniently for Sydney-siders, this True Grit location is just under a 1.5-hour drive from the city!

Caudo Vineyard, South Australia, 20th and 21st April
Located by the Riverland town of Waikerie, Caudo Vineyard is cradled by the banks of the River Murray. With fairytale-worthy woodlands, vineyards, water bodies, and sand dunes, this 1,100-acre property plays host to True Grit’s most topographically diverse chapter.

Glenmaggie, Victoria (new), 15th and 16th June
True Grit’s new Victorian course is set to take place through the incredibly diverse landscape of Glenmaggie, a striking rural town in the Shire of Wellington, presenting spectacular coastlines, rivers, lakes, forests and snowfields.

Kooralbyn, Queensland, dates to be announced
Only 90 minute’s drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the friendly township of Kooralbyn is located in the heart of the Scenic Rim region. This obstacle course boasts breath-taking natural beauty, which sees Gritters make their way through sweeping valleys and mountain ranges with rainforests and streams.

Linga Longa Estate, Western Australia, dates to be announced
Located in Western Australia's stunning South West region, Linga Longa Estate in Southampton features 700 acres of rolling hills, a freshwater dam, mud, and incredible trails with plenty of local flora and fauna to be spotted.
