Course Information

Well a night run on its own is a kind of mystery. You set off in the dark and follow trail markers either 5km, 12km or the big one the half marathon. And at the Possum, we double down on the mystery, as we don’t show you the course maps. (This is a condition of our venue). But we want to give you a good idea of what you are in for so check out the course descriptions in the event categories below.

The company behind the Possum is called Element Events. We focus on producing high quality trail running events. We are very focussed on event safety and do all that we can to keep you safe and sound the whole way round your course. One key element of the Possum is trail marking. Like our commitment to safety we are equally fussy about marking our course. You will follow reflective arrows and ribbons. Tape at waist height or on the ground will mark the wrong way as will yellow signs that display ‘X Wrong way’. We put marshals in at critical intersections and you can also ask them for help if you want. And if you need help and cant see a marshal, you can also call the event base using the phone number on the back of your race bib.
