Event Details
Course Description
The course runs on the sealed shared path along the River Torrens Linear Park, out and back from Drage Reserve in Felixstow. It is flat and fully paved with river views for most of the way - a fast, PB-friendly course with no hills to speak of. The longer distances simply run further along the same path system. Road shoes; no need for anything with grip.
Getting There
Drage Reserve is on Riverside Drive in Felixstow, 10-15 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. There is a car park at the reserve plus parking in the surrounding streets. Adelaide Metro bus routes 174, 176 and 281 run nearby.
Weather & What to Pack
Early September in Adelaide is cool spring - expect a fresh start around 8-12C warming into the high teens. The Linear Park is partly shaded by river gums. Good conditions for a fast time; a long-sleeve top for the start line is worth it.
