Quick Facts
Getting There
The Adelaide start location will be confirmed closer to the event date. Adelaide's CBD is well-serviced by public transport, with buses and trams connecting throughout the metropolitan area. Free parking is available at various city locations on weekends, whilst paid parking is available at Wilson Parking and Secure Parking facilities. Allow extra time for event-day road closures. It's recommended to arrive at least 45 minutes before your scheduled start time for registration and warm-up.
Weather & What to Pack
Late June in Adelaide brings cool winter conditions, with average temperatures ranging from 8-16°C. Expect crisp mornings that may require layered clothing at the start line. South Australia's dry winter climate means rain is less likely, but wind can be a factor. Sunrise is around 7:15am, so early starters may begin in low light. Dress in thermal running layers, long sleeves, and gloves for the start. Whilst hydration needs are lower in cooler weather, don't neglect fluid intake throughout your distance. The cool conditions are ideal for achieving personal bests.
