Outer Limits After Dark - Mount Louisa

Outer Limits After Dark is a night-time trail running event held on the walking trails of Mount Louisa in Townsville. The event center, start, and finish lines are located at Calvary Christian College. The terrain features a combination of paved steps, wide gravel paths, and single-track trails that include climbs and descents. Participants navigate the course in the dark, and a charged head torch is a mandatory requirement for all runners.

The event offers three distances for participants:

• 6 km (The Loop)
• 10 km (The Level Up)
• 21 km (Double or Nothing)

The 21 km distance consists of two laps of the 10 km course and is subject to a cut-off time. Runners in the 10 km and 21 km events must also carry additional safety gear, including compression bandages, a waterproofed phone with the Emergency+ app, a whistle, and a space blanket.

The course reaches elevations of 193 meters above sea level, providing views of Townsville Airport and Magnetic Island. Race bibs include electronic timing chips and are collected at the event headquarters. Facilities at the site include toilets and a bag drop area. Post-race refreshments such as water, electrolytes, and fruit are provided to all participants at the recovery station. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
