Course Description

The RunTheRoos Marathon follows a flat, traffic‑free road that links the small towns of Lameroo and Pinnaroo across South Australia's Southern Mallee. Runners will travel along wide, paved highways bordered by endless paddocks, golden grain fields and historic silos, offering a clean, uninterrupted rhythm. The marathon covers 42 km, the half‑marathon 21 km, with a 10 km Fun Run and a 2 km Kids Run for families. With no hills or traffic lights, the course is designed for fast times and personal bests, while the open country air and clear winter skies provide a refreshing backdrop. Aid stations are positioned at regular intervals, and the route is fully supported by local volunteers and farmers who line the track with encouragement.

Getting There

The race is held between the country towns of Lameroo and Pinnaroo in South Australia's Southern Mallee. Both towns are accessible via the Mallee Highway (A8) and have basic parking facilities and nearby amenities.

Weather & What to Pack

July is winter in South Australia, so expect cool daytime temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 15 °C, with crisp mornings and low humidity. Clear skies are common, though occasional light rain can occur. Dress in layers – a moisture‑wicking base, a warm mid‑layer and a wind‑proof jacket if needed. A hat, gloves and a buff can help keep you comfortable. Stay hydrated, but you’ll likely need less water than in hotter months. Check the forecast before you head out.
