Event Overview
The Corporate Cup Adelaide CBD Round 3 takes place on Wednesday 2 September 2026 at Karrawirra Park on Victoria Drive in the Adelaide CBD, South Australia. It is part of the Corporate Cup timed running and walking series and operates within a designated event window on the day. The Adelaide CBD course offers three distances: Mini (2.2km), Corporate (4.5km), and Mega (7.2km), conducted on shared parkland and river paths along the River Torrens. Participation is available for individuals and teams.
What the Course Demands
With three short-course options, the key demand is pacing control across a relatively brief effort, especially for the 7.2km Mega where early intensity can be costly. The format allows flexible start times within a long daily window, so athletes should plan a consistent warm-up and timing approach. Timing is recorded using a required timing card at the listed start/finish location.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and run-walk participants looking for a simple, time-efficient weekday round with multiple distance choices. The 2.2km and 4.5km options work well for newer runners or those returning to structured running, while the 7.2km option suits athletes wanting a longer sustained effort without committing to a long race day schedule.
Preparing for This Event
If you are considering this event and want some structure around your preparation, a targeted training plan can help you arrive feeling confident rather than underprepared. The aim is not to train harder, but to train in a way that suits the distance, terrain, and likely conditions of the course.
Choosing a plan is optional, but having structure can remove uncertainty and make training easier to repeat week to week. The best option is the one that fits your current fitness, available time, and experience level.
