Join SARRC for our 47th Adelaide Marathon. Starting and finishing at Adelaide Oval, 2025 will be an event you won’t want to miss. Course will most likely remain the same as 2024. The start / finish will depend on the AFL game schedule for that day which will be announced in November 2024. Some footpaths on course have been moved onto closed roads to accomodate the larger numbers of entries this year.

Car Parking:

No race specific parking is being provided for this years event. Local parking will be on surrounding streets or at the Oval North Parking area (Wilsons Parking). 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.

Event Village:

The Event Village at the Adelaide Oval will include Bag Drop, Toilets, First Aid and Coffee/Food trucks as well as Sponsors and SARRC Information.

Half Marathon:     7:00am
10km:                     7:15am
5km:                       7:30am

Start Procedures

The start for this years 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 conjestion at Bonython Park leading onto footpaths, wave starts are being considered. All potential placegetters (First 5 Male or Female) should please proceed to the front of the start group as these positions will be timed on Gun Time. 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 Pace / 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 Cut Off:

5.5 Hours. Course Closes at 12.30pm.

Drink Stations:

There are plenty of drink stations along the course. Drink Station tables will be well spaced. Water (Blue tablecloth) and Infinit (Orange tablecloth) will be pre-filled in cups by our volunteers and placed on outer edge of dedicated table for runners to pick up from.

Please discard all cups into the labelled bins provided after the Drinks Stations stations to help minimise our environmental footprint. Non-adherence could result in disqualification.

All cups used for the event are biodegradable and should be disposed of in the drink station bins marked “Bio Cups Only”. Non-Bio rubbish (gels) should only be thrown in the last bin at each drink station marked “General Waste”.
