Course Description

The White Coastal race winds along the picturesque Grange beachfront, beginning at the historic Grange Jetty Reserve. Runners follow the Esplanade, skirting the sand dunes and the iconic Marine Apartments, before looping back along the promenade. The 7 km and 14 km routes stay on flat, well‑maintained paths, while the half‑marathon adds a few gentle undulations for those seeking a longer challenge. Spectators can enjoy views of Gulf St Vincent and the sparkling sea, and the course is punctuated by water stations and cheer zones. With a mix of paved boardwalk and soft sand sections, the course offers a rewarding coastal experience suitable for families, walkers, and seasoned athletes alike.

Getting There

The race starts at Grange Jetty Reserve, located at 489 Esplanade, Grange SA. The venue is situated on the beachfront, offering easy access for walkers and cyclists. If you are driving, look for nearby street parking or the Grange public car park; if you prefer public transport, check Adelaide Metro bus routes serving the Grange area. Arrive early to allow time for registration and warm‑up.
