Where True Grit Sydney 2027 15km Elite starts and finishes
True Grit Sydney 2027 15km Elite starts at Dargle Farm, 312 River Road, Lower Portland. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full True Grit Sydney 2027 15km Elite Route Breakdown
The True Grit NSW obstacle course winds across Dargle Farm’s diverse landscape, starting on open grassland before plunging into dense rainforest, crossing muddy swamps and scaling rugged river cliffs. Participants can choose a 5km sprint with 15+ obstacles, a 10km classic with 30+ challenges, a 15km route (or Elite 15km timed wave) featuring the full suite of obstacles, or the new 30km Challenge that combines a 5km, 10km and 15km lap. The course is built into the natural environment, offering riverbank views and plenty of photo‑ops. Water stations are positioned roughly halfway, and the festival area on the Hawkesbury River provides music, food and post‑race celebrations. All routes are mixed‑terrain, demanding both endurance and upper‑body strength.

Training Strategy for True Grit Sydney 2027 15km Elite
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 9.32-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Dargle Farm, 312 River Road, Lower Portland fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
9.32-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
