Course Description

Set amidst the rugged Wildwood Rock landscape, the True Grit course blends natural trails, rocky outcrops and muddy paddocks to create a mixed‑terrain obstacle run. The 10km option features over 30 military‑inspired obstacles – walls, rope climbs, water pits and mud crawls – while the 5km route offers around 15 challenges suitable for newcomers. Expect a water station at the halfway point and optional electrolyte drinks on finish. The course winds through native bush, offering scenic views of the surrounding hills and the iconic rock formations that give Wildwood its name. Whether you sprint or walk, the obstacles test both grit and teamwork.
