Recommended parking is at the Convention Centre, Festival Drive and then a short walk over the Riverbank Precinct Pedestrian Bridge leading to the Oval. Note that Montefiore Rd and War Memorial Rd leading to the Oval will be closed and King William Rd and Pennington Road will be restricted.

Start Procedures

The start for this year’s race will be on War Memorial Rd alongside Telstra Plaza and the Oval main gate. We are using a self-seeding start line at the Adelaide Marathon this year and in an effort to alleviate congestion at Bonython Park leading onto footpaths, wave starts are being considered. All potential placegetters (first 3 male or female) should please proceed to the front of the start group as these positions will be timed on gun time so need to go out first. All other competitors will be timed using net time which means your time only starts when you cross the start line. We ask that you assemble back from the start on War Memorial Drive in the direction of King William Rd in approximate sequence to your expected finish time. There will be time boards giving you an indication of where to line up. Once the gun goes, please move forward and begin running across the start line. Course Map to follow shortly.
