Course Description

The City‑Bay Fun Run courses are set on sealed city streets, weaving through Adelaide’s historic precincts and along the River Torrens waterfront. Runners will pass iconic landmarks, parklands and bustling café lanes, offering a blend of urban energy and river‑side serenity. The Half Marathon provides a moderate challenge with gentle undulations, while the 12km and 6km routes are ideal for pacing and personal bests. The 3km is untimed, encouraging a relaxed, inclusive experience for all ages. Expect well‑marked roads, ample water stations and a festive finish line atmosphere.

Getting There

The City‑Bay Fun Run takes place in Adelaide, South Australia. Detailed parking, public transport options and exact venue directions are provided on the official website. Participants should plan their travel ahead of time and allow extra time for bib collection and warm‑up before the start.

Weather & What to Pack

September is spring in South Australia, with average highs around 22 °C and lows near 12 °C. Expect mild sunshine and occasional light showers. Dress in layers – a breathable shirt, light jacket and a hat for sun protection work well. Stay hydrated, but you won’t need heavy cooling gear in these comfortable temperatures.
