Obstacle racers from across Australia will head to the stunning Gold Coast Hinterland to experience the region and put themselves to the test when the 2022 QLD Trifecta Weekend comes to Numinbah Valley in October 2022.

The 2022 QLD Trifecta Weekend will take place across the weekend of 15-16 October. Spartan athletes from across the country will compete over two days and five events, with something to suit everyone, including three different distances of obstacle course races, a 4-hour military-style team-building exercise, and a kids obstacle course race, for the ultimate bragging rights.

The Half-Marathon Beast - a 21K, 30 obstacle race, and 10K Super 25 obstacle race will offer Elite category racers the chance to win a share of over six thousand dollars in prize money. Spartan Australia/NZ is delivering the Spartan QLD Trifecta Weekend with the support of Major Events Gold Coast.

“The Gold Coast’s beautiful but challenging Numinbah Valley trails are the perfect location for the demanding Trifecta event, and we are delighted to see Spartan’s loyal tribe of participants back here in 2022” said Major Events Gold Coast CEO Jan McCormick.

“Not only does this event bring in significant economic benefits for the local economy with more than 7,000 obstacle course racers, and their family and friends all staying in our city over the two-day Trifecta, but it also showcases our capacity as a city to host these unique and hugely popular events.”

Spartan Australia/NZ Managing Director Chris Heverin said, "We are so excited to be able to bring the Trifecta Weekend back to Numinbah Valley. The Spartan Australia & NZ team are looking forward to having the country's best obstacle racers back to this epic location in QLD."

Mr. Heverin said, "Experienced Spartan racers have long loved the previous races held at this location in QLD, thanks to the diversity we are able to create with the courses - fantastic hill climbs and elevation, meandering creeks, open paddocks, technical rocky terrain, and some great sections through the forest like settings. With the event being held in October, the weather should be great for racing!”

With loads of accommodation and dining options in the region, locals welcome Spartans for an epic long weekend of overcoming obstacles both literally and mentally while making memories in the mud with their mates. Entries are now open for the event at spartanrace.com.au.

“There’s a little Spartan warrior in all of us so I have every confidence the 2022 Trifecta Weekend will see record entries,’’ said Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate.

“Hosting this event underscores how Major Events Gold Coast is working to broaden our annual events calendar and attract more diverse festivals and attractions to our city. Now, bring on the Spartans."
