About the race
The River Torrens Running Festival is a community running event held at Drage Reserve in Felixstow, SA, with routes that run alongside the River Torrens. The event program includes the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
Courses are described as flat and fast along shared-use river paths. All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. The 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km have no cut-off times; the Half Marathon has a cut-off of 3.5 hours. The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at children; an accompanying adult can run for an additional $10, but that adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher’s medal.
All finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher’s certificate. Race bibs are printed three weeks before the event and are posted two weeks before the event; to have a name printed on a bib entrants must register at least three weeks before the race. A photographer will take images on course.
Practical details for arrival include a car park at Drage Reserve, additional parking on surrounding residential streets, and nearby Adelaide Metro bus routes 174, 176, and 281 serving the Linear Park / River Street area. Entry pricing is tiered with Early Bird, Standard, and Late rates for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
