Event Details
Course Description
All courses begin at Port Elliot Caravan Park, right on the stunning Horseshoe Bay. The routes head north along the coastline towards Goolwa, offering a mix of sealed road, sandy beach sections and light trail. The 5km ‘Fun’ run provides a gentle loop for beginners, while the 10km and 15km courses add extra turns and elevation. The Half Marathon (21.1km) and the challenging 30km XL distance take you further along the bay, with turnaround points at 2.5km, 5km, 7.5km, 10km and 15km marking aid stations stocked with water, electrolyte drinks, lollipop snakes and chips. Spectacular ocean views, fresh sea breezes and well‑marked paths make each distance a rewarding coastal adventure.
Getting There
The Surf Run starts and finishes at Port Elliot Caravan Park in the coastal town of Port Elliot, roughly a 1.5‑hour drive south of Adelaide. Parking is available on‑site, and public transport options can be found on the event website.
