Trail Experience and Terrain

Famous for "THE hill," Elliot’s Revenge is designed to test your legs before rewarding you with several creek crossings. The undulating terrain follows a mix of designated walking paths and power line tracks. While the climb is significant, the trails themselves are considered non-technical and well-suited for beginners or those new to trail running. The event emphasizes a "slice of paradise" atmosphere, encouraging participants to pack a picnic blanket and swimmers to enjoy the park's natural beauty long after the race has finished.

Community and National Park Etiquette

The event is held with respect for the Bindal people, the Traditional Owners of the land. Because the race takes place within a protected National Park, runners are encouraged to stay on the marked trails to preserve the local environment. With a finish window concluding at 11:00 AM, the timing is perfect for families and local athletes to enjoy a full morning of outdoor fitness. The series is supported by Outer Limits Adventure Fitness, ensuring professional race timing, photography, and a well-marked course for all competitors.
