Background:

The Goat Loop is a 6.7km loop in the Nerang State Forest.

It is referred now to Goat 1.0.

After being established and run by a few locals it gained notoriety by word of mouth initially.

It is now a hugely popular track, largely due to a local running podcast called Racing News. (Tom Batty & Kyle Weiss) They have done multiple reports on the Goat Loop including a special that centred on the history of the Goat Loop called Goat Loop secrets. This was published on April 13, 2020.
