Event Details
Course Description
The Belair National Park course winds through towering eucalypt forests, open grasslands and gentle ridge lines. Runners start at the park entrance and follow a well‑marked loop that climbs modest hills before descending back to the finish. The XL 27km distance adds extra loops for a longer challenge, while the 5km option stays on the flatter, more leisurely sections. Expect a mix of shaded trails, occasional creek crossings and panoramic views of the Adelaide Hills, making every kilometre a visual treat.
Getting There
Belair National Park is situated in the suburb of Belair, about 10 km southeast of Adelaide’s CBD. Parking and public‑transport options are provided on‑site; check the Adelaide Trail Runners website for the latest details on parking locations, costs and bus routes. Arrive early to collect your bib (available from 6:30 am) and to warm up before the first wave starts at 7:00 am.
Weather & What to Pack
January is summer in South Australia, with typical highs around 22 °C and lows near 12 °C, though temperatures can climb into the high 20s or low 30s. Expect plenty of sunshine and low humidity.
