Welcome to Elements Running Events!
In 2017 Elements Running embarked on an Australian first running adventure series, offering runners a chance to complete a 42km or 21km at each of Australia’s extreme compass points. This series tests the mettle of each and every runner as they experience Australia’s extreme diversity of weather elements, from the blizzard like conditions of Cockle Creek in Tasmania’s deep south, to the humidity and tranquility of far north Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula, the blustery beauty of Byron Bay to the east and Steep Point to the west and the monotonous hills and relentless heat of Alice Springs in Australia’s red centre. The Compass Club Running Series is so unique in that it offers new and remote locations for you to immerse yourself in the beauty that is Australia, while providing new adventures, no DNF’s, generous cut off times and most importantly, competitor safety.
