Paluma Village Trail Run

Paluma Village Trail Run

Paluma Village Trail Run is the final event in the Outer Limits Trail Run Series held in the Paluma Range World Heritage rainforest. The venue is at the Village Green in Paluma and the area sits at over 900 m elevation, offering cooler conditions than the coastal region. The event is scheduled for Sunday 25 October 2026.

The event offers the following distances:

• 6 km short course, minimum age 8 years
• 10 km intermediate course, minimum age 12 years
• 20 km long course, minimum age 12 years

The course runs on technical rainforest trails with mossy rocks, slippery tree roots, creek crossings and sections with trees over the track. Participants may encounter leeches and occasional snakes. The 10 km and 20 km courses include about 400 m of elevation gain and have mandatory gear checks. Mandatory items for the intermediate and long courses include two compression bandages, a fully charged phone, a whistle, an emergency blanket and sufficient hydration and nutrition.

Event operations include a fully marked and marshalled course, first aid support on course and at Race HQ, professional electronic timing and on course photography. On course hydration is provided but no cups are supplied so runners should carry their own bottle. Bib plates include electronic timing chips which competitors keep. The event director may short course or remove runners for safety if checkpoints or cut off requirements are not met.

Registration opens 1 December 2025 and closes 24 October 2026 or when sold out. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
