Belair National Park parkrun

You’ll follow winding single-track, travel through woodland slopes and bushlands, scramble along some boulders, and cruise along the creek lines. Don’t forget to take in the sweeping views of the hillsides.

Then there’s the creek crossings. You’re probably going to get wet feet. And if the race follows a soaking rain, you might even see waterfalls along Magpie Gully.

There’s nature aplenty here. Look up to see koalas, look around to spot a grazing kangaroo and look down and you might spot an echidna digging for ants.

Originally inhabited and cared for by the Kaurna people, it’s not hard to see why Sturt Gorge is a favourite with the current locals.

This race is where your best adventurous self is really going to shine.

Sturt Gorge is an easy 30-minute drive from the city.

Welcome to the traditional lands of the Kaurna people. It's time to head to Cleland.

Cleland National Park conserves an important area of bushland situated in the Adelaide Hills face zone. A fantastic network of trails awaits you, taking you through native wildlife and cultural heritage zones and providing spectacular views of the Adelaide Hills and surrounds.

It's fair to say that it's a bit hilly here - probably why they call it the Adelaide Hills. Don't be put off - you'll be rewarded with native woodlands, forests, perched swamps, creeks, and maybe even a waterfall.

You can be guaranteed to run past many kangaroos - especially early in the morning, and you'll probably spot koalas too.

After your race, we recommend you visit the Cleland Wildlife Park - the young and young at heart will enjoy it equally.

Cleland is less than a 30-minute drive from the city.
