River Torrens Running Festival
The River Torrens Running Festival is staged at Drage Reserve in Felixstow, South Australia, with courses that run along the River Torrens. The event offers multiple race distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
Courses are described as flat and fast along riverside paths. All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. Event finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher’s certificate. A course photographer will take photos that are later posted online.
The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at youngsters; an accompanying adult may run for an additional $10 but that adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher’s medal. There are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km events. The Half Marathon has a cut-off time of 3.5 hours.
Practical details include a car park at Drage Reserve and additional parking on surrounding residential streets. The reserve is about 10 to 15 minutes from the Adelaide CBD and is serviced by Adelaide Metro bus routes 174, 176, and 281 near Linear Park (River St). Race bibs are printed three weeks before race day and posted two weeks before; to have a name printed on the bib, register at least three weeks before the event. Pricing varies by entry period with Early Bird, Standard, and Late rates for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
