Course Description

The Semaphore Classic follows an out‑and‑back route along the Semaphore Esplanade and Coast Park, starting and finishing at an inflatable arch in Point Malcolm Reserve. The course is completely on paved roads, offering a flat, sea‑level profile with stunning Gulf St Vincent views and the chance to spot dolphins offshore. Water stations and first‑aid are positioned along the route, and electronic timing mats record every finish. The 10km distance begins at 8:00 am, the 5km at 8:15 am, and a 300‑metre kids dash follows at 9:10 am, making it a family‑friendly event for all ages.
