21.1km, 10km & 5km Run or Walk
**LATEST NEWS - Unfortunately, due to a lack of numbers the proposed Pasta Party has had to be cancelled. Those that had already booked and paid will be contacted soon to arrange a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience.**
The Barossa Half Marathon incorporates the Athletics SA state championships for this distance, and attracts the cream of South Australian distance runners. Being a beautiful course in an iconic tourist area, and also having 10km and 5km events, it is very popular with runners and walkers of all abilities.
The course passes between vineyards in all their autumn glory, and the valley floor is laid out below participants when they reach the top of the rise at the base of Menglers Hill (don’t worry, you don’t have to climb that hill of Tour Down Under infamy).
In 2010 we have a new course. While some people loved grinding up that hill three times, we've listened to the grumbles. The new course starts just down the road from previous years at Faith Lutheran College. This year you will keep heading south down Light Pass Road until you reach Bethany Road. You then have a delightful downhill run through the picturesque village of Bethany, before heading north to rejoin the old course on Menge Road. Once you are past the Recreation Centre on Magnolia Road, you will turn north on Research Road for a fast flat out and back section on a quiet bitumen road. The 5k and 10 k courses share the out and back section.
Police will be in attendance, the course is limited to 40 kmh and there are marshalls at every intersection. You are guaranteed to achieve a personal best for the course!
For those of you who wish to make a day of the trip to the Barossa, showers will still be available at the Tanunda Recreation Centre. So you can hit the wineries, restaurants and other attractions without drawing undue attention.
