Event Overview
The City-Bay Fun Run is held in Adelaide, South Australia on 20 September 2026, with multiple event options including 3km, 6km and the feature 12km race. Starts are separated by distance, with the 12km beginning near the Festival Theatre on King William Road, the 6km starting at Kurralta Central Shopping Centre, and the 3km starting at The Junction in Camden Park. All events finish on Colley Terrace at Glenelg.
What the Course Demands
With several distances feeding into the same finish precinct, athletes should expect a staged race morning with different start times and procedures depending on the event. The 12km uses wave starts for certain faster categories, and the 6km includes a time verification process at the finish in addition to standard timing. The 3km is designed as an untimed option, which changes pacing and positioning considerations.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who want a well-structured, large-participation race environment with distance choices from 3km through to 12km. The 3km option is appropriate for first-time participants and those prioritising completion over a recorded time. The 6km and 12km races suit athletes looking for an officially timed run with managed starts and a defined finish-line process.
