River Torrens Running Festival
The River Torrens Running Festival is held at Drage Reserve in Felixstow, SA 5070. The event offers the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
The course follows paths along the River Torrens and is described as flat and fast, with river views along the route. All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. Finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher’s certificate. A photographer will capture images on course and photos will be posted online after the event.
The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at involving children in outdoor activity; an accompanying adult may run for an additional $10. The accompanying 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, or 10 km events. The Half Marathon has a cut-off time of 3.5 hours.
Logistics note that Drage Reserve has an on-site car park and additional parking on surrounding residential streets. Several Adelaide Metro bus routes (174, 176, 281) provide access near the event village and the reserve is approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. Participants should be aware that pedestrians, cyclists, and dogs may be present on the shared paths and are advised to pay attention to their surroundings.
