THE COMPASS CLUB NORTH – Marathon Run to Pajinka Sunday 27th May. Stephen Petroff - Elements Ultra Managing and Events Director As previously discussed in July 2016, Elements Ultra Pty Ltd welcomes the chance to introduce an exciting new event series to the Cape York region on Sunday May 27, 2018. Elements Ultra is an event management company based in South East Queensland specialising in sports event management. Elements Ultra are the creators of the new Compass Club Running Series. SERIES HISTORY The inaugural Compass Club event was staged in Cockle Creek, Tasmania, on Sunday May 7, 2017. Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife had safety concerns with an event in such a remote and untested location, and limited us to only 50 runners for this inaugural event. Inclement weather prevented us from completing the full 42km, with runner safety taking priority, and this we cut it back to a 21km half marathon. NPA Regional Council Minutes of Ordinary Council meeting Tuesday 29th May 2018 – Injinoo COMPASS CLUB NORTH After a postponement in 2017, The SKYTRANS Compass Club North will be staged on Sunday May 27, starting just outside Bamaga at 6am. At the time of writing this report, we have 39 runners competing in either the 42km full marathon, or the 21km half marathon. The event will commence at the junction of Pajinka Back Road and Pajinka Road, with runners running the 21km to the carpark of Australia’s northern most point. Those running the half marathon will finish here and be transported back by a small bus from Bamaga campus, with those competing in the full marathon, turning around and heading back to the finish line. It is hoped that the event will be wrapped up by 2pm. PURPOSE The whole premise of this series is to promote Australia’s pristine regional areas to a new adventure running market. This offers local communities the chance to compete in a competitive event, which they may not necessarily have the chance to given the extreme distances in Australia. By offering a medallion split in five pieces to runners who finish each race, it is hoped that runners can proudly say that they have been to all of Australia’s five compass points, and experienced a different climate, landscape and local community in each won. This is a true bucket list experience! EXPECTED OUTCOME To make this an annual event that the Bamaga and Seisia community are proud to host. I would love to one day say we have 200 odd runners coming up to stay in Bamaga and surrounds and run a marathon to the northern most tip. I think we are a year or two away from that but you never know if you never try! 3.
