Elements Running 42km Results Archive

This archive collects surviving, verifiable records of 42 km (marathon) events organised under the Elements Running brand and its Compass Club series. Elements Running has staged a mix of road, beach and trail marathons — often in remote Australian locations framed as the Compass Club “compass point” series — and the primary surviving material comes from organiser pages, race-entry/listing platforms (Race Roster, Webscorer), event calendars and local running clubs. Where possible this page links to the original result or start-list page; where organisers published only notices or third‑party listings, those sources are credited so researchers and runners can follow up. (webscorer.com)

Scope and method

What this page is and what it is not:

• This is an independent historical archive prepared for Elements-Running.com readers and researchers. It preserves dates, locations and surviving links to 42 km races staged by Elements Running (including Compass Club events, standalone marathons such as the Grunt Beach Marathon, and remote/outback runs). (webscorer.com)
• The archive draws on organiser-startlists and results hosted on timing platforms (Webscorer), registration/listing platforms (Race Roster) and running-community pages (Tasmanian Road Runners, Gotrail, RunningCalendar, event listings). Each entry below links to the best surviving public reference found at the time of publication. (webscorer.com)
• This is not an exhaustive database of athlete finish times. Where full downloadable result pages exist they are linked; this page does not reprint complete start lists or result tables unless they are explicitly public and short. When full results are only available on third‑party timing pages those pages are linked as the canonical record. (webscorer.com)
• Elements Running is an independent event organiser. This archive does not attempt to assert continuous ownership, corporate structure, or affiliation with governing bodies beyond what is visible in public records and event pages. Where an organiser statement exists (for example, a temporary pause in events announced by Elements Running), the primary source is linked. (findglocal.com)

Quick archive summary (select 42km events)

The table below lists verified Elements Running 42 km events and the best surviving public reference for each. If a direct full-result (finish times and placings) was located, the link points to it; where only an event listing or start list was available the link points to the listing.

Context: the Compass Club and Elements Running’s marathon profile

Elements Running grew its identity around distinctive, often remote marathon courses. The Compass Club concept — a serial challenge in which competitors could attempt a marathon at Australia’s northern, southern, eastern, western and central “compass points” — is repeatedly referenced in organiser material and event listings. Events such as Cockle Creek (Tasmania, the southern point), remote Cape York runs and central Larapinta‑area races were staged under that banner. The Compass Club branding and the central/south/north event descriptions are visible across organiser announcements and multiple event-listing platforms. (findglocal.com)

Elements Running also diversified into beach marathons and community fundraisers (for example, the Chempro Endo‑End Fun Run and the Grunt Beach Marathon). Those events were listed on mainstream registration platforms (Race Roster, RunningCalendar) and local running directories. Where race organisers used third‑party timing/startlist services the surviving records are typically hosted on Webscorer or the same registration platform that handled entries. These are the primary documentary sources used to build this archive. (raceroster.com)

How to use this archive

• Click any linked “Primary source” to reach the original event page, start list or result set. Direct timing pages (Webscorer) are the preferred canonical source for start lists and finish positions where available. (webscorer.com)
• If you need a full downloadable result file (for research, athlete verification or personal records), check the timing page linked for that year; if the timing page is not available from this archive, contact the organiser at the address shown on Race Roster or the event page. Race Roster entries include listed organiser contact details for most Compass Club events. (raceroster.com)
• Use local running-club pages (for example, Tasmanian Road Runners) for contextual information about remote or volunteer-supported events; they often publish race reports, safety notes and course descriptions useful for historical records. (tasmanianroadrunners.org.au)

Limitations and editorial notes

• The Elements Running website itself has varied over time; some pages are no longer online while others remain accessible through the organiser’s social posts and third‑party platforms. This archive intentionally links to surviving, reputable third‑party sources (timing platforms, Race Roster, running-club pages) rather than relying on uncaptured local PDFs or transient social posts. (webscorer.com)
• Where full results were not publicly downloadable from timing platforms, this archive records the event date, location and the best surviving reference. Researchers seeking complete athlete lists and times should follow the primary-source links and, if needed, contact the event organiser via the contact details published on Race Roster or the organiser’s pages. (raceroster.com)
• Do not assume continuous availability of event markets or bookmaker coverage for marathons listed here. Elements Running’s marathons are primarily participation events; any betting markets for marathons or athletics are offered event-by-event and depend entirely on bookmakers’ policies and the legal/regulatory environment where each bettor is located.

Notable event summaries (select)

Cockle Creek / Compass Club South (Tasmania)

The Cockle Creek 42 km marathons — staged as Compass Club South events on Tasmania’s South Coast Track — are repeatedly listed in organiser material and on local running calendars. Descriptions emphasise beach and track sections, boardwalks and remote logistics; Tasmanian Road Runners and Race Roster both documented the event as a 42.2 km out‑and‑back to Australia’s deepest south. Race Roster and regional event pages are the best public records for the 2025 running; earlier Cockle Creek results were held on event/timing pages. (tasmanianroadrunners.org.au)

Grunt Beach Marathon (Gold Coast)

The Grunt Beach Marathon is a coastal beach marathon staged on The Spit / Main Beach area of the Gold Coast. RunningCalendar and multiple event listings identify the 2 November 2025 running as a full marathon (42.2 km) organised by Elements Running and promoted as a beach marathon, an unusual format for a certified marathon distance. Event calendars for 2025 and related pages provide registration and race details. (runningcalendar.com.au)

Logan Running Festival (Berrinba, 17 May 2026)

The Webscorer start list for the 2026 Logan Running Festival shows a published 42 km category and identifies Elements Running as organiser on the timing/startlist page. That start list is the public record for entries leading into the 2026 race and is included here to preserve the marathon field listing. For final finish times consult the official timing/result page that follows the event. (webscorer.com)

Preservation guidance for researchers and athletes

If you are an athlete, historian or results archivist seeking additional detail:

1. Follow the primary-source links in the table above. Timing/startlist pages are the preferred canonical record when available. (webscorer.com)
2. If a result page has been removed, attempt to retrieve cached/archived snapshots via the Internet Archive or contact the event organiser using the contact emails shown on Race Roster or the organiser’s public pages. Race Roster’s event pages commonly list organiser contact addresses and phone numbers for follow-up. (raceroster.com)
3. Note the date and location data in this archive when filing corrections or additions; supply original source links or screenshots when possible so the archive can be updated reliably.

FAQ

1. Where can I find full finish times for a particular Elements Running 42 km race

Start by clicking the primary source listed in the archive table. Where Elements Running used a timing/startlist provider (for example, Webscorer) the timing page is the canonical source for finish times and placings. If the timing page is no longer accessible, the event’s Race Roster listing or local club pages may include contact information for the organiser so you can request archived result files. (webscorer.com)

2. Are Elements Running’s Compass Club events still being staged

Elements Running publicly announced a pause/hiatus from May 2026 for several of its events and stated a need to step back after many years of organising — that organiser statement is recorded in public posts captured on business/profile pages. That indicates a planned break rather than permanent cessation, but event status should always be confirmed on the organiser’s web pages or the event listing before assuming future dates. (findglocal.com)

3. Do results here include course records or certified course measurements

This archive does not assume or certify course measurement standards. Some events (especially road marathons or flat beach events) may have been measured to standard distances; remote trail marathons are often approximate by route and are described as trail 42 km or 42.2 km in organiser materials. For certification details check the event page or contact the organiser. (runningcalendar.com.au)
