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.
