City Run 2026

SUNDAY 15 February 2026

EVENT & COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The City Run starts/finishes at Karrawirra and follows a 5km course along the River Torrens, taking in a few iconic Adelaide-an sites. A full loop is 5km. Distances of less than 5km do a shortened loop and distances of more than 5km do multiple loops.

COURSE MAP:

AID STATION:

There will be one aid station on the course. It is present at the start/finish of each loop and is passed approximately every 7.5km. The aid station has lollies, hydration, and first aid. A bag drop is available at the aid station

BIB COLLECTION, RACE BRIEFING, & START LOCATION:

Bib collection is exclusively available on the day, starting 30 minutes prior to the wave’s start time. The race briefing will begin promptly 15 minutes prior to each wave’s start time. All participants will be expected to socially distance during the briefing, at the start line, and on course.

EARLY/LATE STARTS:

The start times will be changed if temperature forecasts are high.

CUT-OFF TIME:

All events will be cut-off at 5pm.

MEDAL:

An optional medal is available for free to events/distances of 21.1km and over; it is available for $13 for events/distances of under 21.1km. Personalised medal inscriptions (with name, messages, and/or finish time) are also available. Please see price lists for costs.

Not-for-Profits & Local Causes

GoodRunnings proudly supports Women’s Safety Services SA’s NADVS (Northern Adelaide Domestic Violence Services) to help local women and children rise above domestic violence and thrive. $3 from every registration under 21.1km and $5 from every registration of 21.1km and over go towards NADVS, with a cap of $800.

In honour of Jacob Vennix

One of GoodRunnings’s initial and strongest supporters – Jacob Vennix – was lost to the world at the end of 2024. This event is dedicated in his honour. In addition to our typical donation to NADVS, we are also setting aside $1 from every registration for Guide Dogs SA/NT, to support a charity close to Jacob’s heart.

We will forever be sorry for your loss, Jacob. Your acts will continue to touch those long after you have departed.
