Elliot’s Revenge Trail Run

Elliot’s Revenge Trail Run

Elliot’s Revenge Trail Run takes place on 12 April 2026 at the Alligator Creek day use area in Bowling Green Bay National Park near Mount Elliot. The park includes coastal plains, mangrove forests and mountains; Mount Elliot rises to 1221 m within the park.

The course follows designated walking trails and power line tracks with undulating terrain. Runners will encounter several creek crossings, uneven sections with rocks and gravel, and a prominent hill with out-and-back sections. The trails are not highly technical and are described as suitable for newcomers to trail running.

Distances offered:

• 6 km short course
• 12 km middle distance
• 21 km long distance

Entry includes a fully marked, marshalled course, first aid support, electronic timing with a timing-chip bib, on-course hydration and snacks, on-course photography, a post-race recovery station with hydration and fruit, and amenities at Race HQ. A free post-run massage may be available subject to availability. Parking is managed by marshals at the day use area.

Participants must sign in and collect a bib before the run. Mandatory gear for the 12 km and 21 km distances includes two compression bandages, a fully charged waterproofed phone, a whistle, a space blanket, and sufficient water and nutrition. The event reserves the right to short-course or withdraw runners for safety reasons. The site has swimming holes and waterfalls near the day use area.
