Elliot’s Revenge Trail Run

Event Overview

The Elliot’s Revenge Trail Run is the second event in the Outer Limits Trail Run Series. The race takes place in Bowling Green Bay National Park, approximately 30 km south of Townsville. The course features a variety of terrain including fast open trails, technical single tracks, and undulating sections along power line tracks and designated walking paths.

Participants can choose from three main distances:

• 6 km
• 12 km
• 21 km

The routes include several creek crossings where participants should expect to get their feet wet. A notable feature of the course is a significant hill climb early in the race. The 21 km distance consists of two laps and offers the opportunity to earn points toward a UTMB Index.

Location and Environment

The event is staged at the Alligator Creek day-use area. The landscape is dominated by Mount Elliot and features rugged mountains, salt plains, and mangrove forests. Facilities at the race headquarters include toilets, a recovery station with fruit and hydration, and a post-race barbecue.
