About the race
The River Torrens Running Festival is a community running event held at Drage Reserve in Felixstow, South Australia, with courses routed along the River Torrens. The event offers multiple timed and untimed distances, run on flat, fast paths beside the river.
Distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. There is no cut-off for the 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km events; the Half Marathon has a 3.5 hour cut-off. Finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher’s certificate. A photographer will record images on course for later publication.
The 2 km Family Dash is intended to encourage youth participation; an accompanying adult can run with a child for an additional $10. Accompanying adults will not be timed and will not receive a finisher medal. Race bibs are printed three weeks before the event and posted two weeks before the event; to have a name printed on a bib register at least three weeks before the event, and to have a bib posted request it at least two weeks before the event.
Drage Reserve includes on-site parking and nearby residential parking, and is approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the Adelaide CBD by road. Several Adelaide Metro bus routes service the area near the Linear Park, including routes 174, 176, and 281. Participants should be aware there may be other pedestrians, cyclists, and dogs on the shared paths. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
