Course Description

The course starts and finishes near the Port Adelaide town centre, following the waterfront along the Port River, passing historic wharves, the old railway bridge, and the vibrant market precinct. The route is primarily flat, on paved roads and shared footpaths, offering sea breezes and panoramic views of the Port Adelaide skyline. Runners will enjoy a mix of urban and coastal scenery, with plenty of cheering spectators and local volunteers. The 5km option is a quick loop, the 10km adds an extra stretch along the riverbank, and the half marathon loops back for a longer challenge. All distances are well marked and supported with water stations.
