Course Description

The relay takes place on a flat, traffic‑free 2.5 km loop inside Victoria Park, Pakapakanthi. Each team member completes two laps, covering a total of 5 km before handing the virtual baton to the next runner. The course winds through open lawns, tree‑lined paths and includes a short section that mirrors part of the BP Adelaide Grand Final supercar circuit, offering a unique mix of park scenery and a hint of motorsport excitement. With a drink station at the halfway point (2.5 km) and toilets at the start/finish area, participants have all essentials on site. Chip timing provides accurate results that are posted live online, making the race both competitive and family‑friendly.

Getting There

Park Stampede Team Relay is held at Victoria Park in the Pakapakanthi suburb of Adelaide. Participants can collect their bibs at the park between 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm on race day. For parking options, public transport routes, and exact arrival recommendations, please visit the official event website or contact SARRC directly.

Weather & What to Pack

March in South Australia is early autumn, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 18 °C to 22 °C and cooler evenings around 12 °C. Expect mild humidity and occasional light showers. Runners should dress in breathable, moisture‑wicking layers and bring a light jacket for the cooler start. Staying hydrated is still important, so carry a water bottle or use the drink station at the 2.5 km mark.
