Event Information
The Flinders Running Festival is currently postponed. A new event date is to be confirmed. The organizer, Run The Pen, has provided options for registered participants to transfer their entry to another of their events or receive a full refund.
Planned Event Details
According to preliminary plans, the festival was to feature three race distances: a 10 km run, a 5 km fun run, and a 1 km kids dash. All events were scheduled to start and finish at the Flinders Golf Club. The 10 km and 5 km runs were planned as twilight events, with a finish line party including a DJ, a bar, and food available.
On the Course
The proposed course was described as an out-and-back route with ocean views. Water and sports drink stations were to be located approximately every 2.5 km. A cut-off time of 1.5 hours was set for the 10 km distance. For safety, dogs, bikes, scooters, and rollerblades were not permitted on the course.
Registration and Logistics
Online registration was to close a few days before the event, with limited late entries available on the day. Every finisher was to receive a medal. Timing was to be provided via a device built into the race bib. Awards were planned for the top three male and female finishers in various age categories for the 5 km and 10 km events. Facilities such as a clothing bag drop, bike parking, toilets, and first aid were to be available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
