Outback Adventure Run

Outer Limits is heading to Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival 2024

Ever heard of the dirtiest outback run? If not, make sure to read on!

Starting from the Kev Bannah Oval at the Julia Creek Combined Sporting Assoc. Building, corner Julia and Shaw Streets, The South 32 DnD Outback Adventure Run presented by Outer Limits Adventure Fitness will be the wildest outback course you have ever run! The course will incorporate outback-style obstacles to keep you laughing to the finish line. The obstacles are optional, we call them “challenge by choice”, where you can climb, hop or jump over them, crawl underneath, or if you want, run around them, but we encourage everyone to give it a go!

We have a few options to choose from:

The Dusty Kids event is a great little adventure for 6-10 year olds.

The 5km Fun Run is ideal for kids (10-13), youth (14-17) as well as adult (18+) beginners and those who may be a bit dusty from the night before.

The 10km and 15km courses are for adults only (18+) and they are a competitive timed event, for the more serious run athletes.

It takes about 45 mins per 5km lap.

In 2023 we added a Dusty Kids Obstacle Challenge (6-10 years), an approx. 2km obstacle lap for the little ones. The Dusty Kids Challenge is back for 2024!

Rules & Regulations: In order for the event to run as smoothly as possible we need all participants to cooperate and stick to our rules and regulations, please read through the points below:

  • No rego, No run! – We do not offer registration on the day and most our events sell out in advance. Please check with us before coming to the event unregistered.
  • Visible BIB number – Please make sure your bib number is clearly visible (front of shirt) when crossing the finish line, this ensures the correct detection of your timing chip by the electronic timing system. The bib can not be covered by clothes or bags, this might cause the timing chip to not be picked up by the antenna at the finish line.
  • No shortcuts – please stick to the marked track, for safety and fairness reasons. All courses are clearly marked and we have marshals out on the course.
  • Fitness level – please choose the right distance according to your fitness level! Many of our courses are a bit more technical and running on trail will take you approximately twice as long as running the same distance on road. Our trail run events are not designed to be walked, especially not the longer distances. If you have any questions in regards to choosing the right distance according to your ability, please feel free to contact us. The event officials reserve the right to short course or pull competitors out of the race if they are concerned for their well-being.
  • Obey traffic regulations unless otherwise instructed by an event official
  • Treat other competitors, officials, volunteers and spectators with respect and courtesy
  • Dress Code – please wear appropriate clothing, including pants, shirts and suitable running shoes

Trail Run Etiquette:

  • Be mindful that the trails are open for other users outside of the race, including runners and walkers
  • Do not leave any rubbish behind. What you bring in you must take out
  • Keep left and give way to runners passing from behind
  • Don’t approach any wildlife you may come across on the trails
  • We ask you to NOT wear headphones, so you can hear other trail users around and hear the trail marshals instructions
  • Stop and give assistance to other runners if needed. If another competitor falls and injures themselves, it is not an opportunity to pass them. Give assistance and ensure they are ok. Time considerations will always be given to the ones who stop and assist injured runners.
