ABOUT US

Wild Earth Flirt with Dirt turns FIVE in 2024! Flirt was established to encourage both new and younger runners into the joys of running off-road, as well as supporting the established runners with challenging short course style racing. Along the way we’ve even added a duathlon which is all about providing another avenue, another reason to be active and outdoors!

Our philosophy remains the same; doable distances over doable terrain at an affordable price with an emphasis on fun for all ages and abilities!

Flirt is all about getting outdoors, having fun with friends and family so if you’ve ever flirted with the idea of trail running or mountain biking, if you’re already in the Flirt family or you’re a runner (trail or otherwise), then Flirt is for you!

Flirt with Dirt celebrates being active in nature – so one of our goals is to minimise our environmental impact as an event. There’ll be little touches and attempts to minimise waste, recycle and re-use and be an eco-responsible event!

Flirt with Dirt has three purposes:
1)      To provide racing opportunities for students & athletes who love cross country. It’s outside of the normal school and club setting and a little more relaxed and stress free.

2)      As a first step for those who want to get a taste for off-road running or riding. Shorter distances, nothing too technical, nothing too steep (up nor down) but still the joy of running (and/or riding) in beautiful natural settings.
3)      A chance for trail runners and riders to work on their speed; our courses are shorter and sharper, conditions are largely good underfoot and you’re still amongst friends and enjoying being off-road!

Your event host is Steve Jackson operating under the banner; Trail Trips & Events, who relies on a small army of volunteers (more are always welcome) who help him pull the fun altogether. Trail Trips tag line is ‘Great Races. Amazing Places.’ and Flirt provides a both! Trail Trips aims to deliver great races in amazing places - and/or taking you there!! We are passionate about all things running and something a little bit different like Flirt is here to fill the void on the Gold Coast region and provide more opportunities for juniors to race, trail runners to crank it up and beginners to discover the joy of running off-road… we hope you join us!
