Course Description

The Uni Loop is a fry‑pan shaped 2.2 km road circuit that circles Warnpangga (Park 10) just north of the River Torrens. Starting on the eastern corner of Mackinnon Parade, the route heads west past Adelaide Oval, arcs left toward the Adelaide Zoo, then follows War Memorial Drive. Runners experience flat straights, a gentle 200 m downhill and climb at the 1,200‑metre mark, and a final 600 m flat sprint back to the start. The course is fully chip‑timed, offers scenic city views, and is ideal for personal‑best attempts on a fast, uninterrupted loop.

Getting There

The race starts at the 0‑metre mark on Mackinnon Parade, Park 10, Adelaide. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please visit the official Run The Loop website or contact the organisers directly.
