Event Overview
Dusk to Dawn 6/12 is a dusk-to-dawn, time-based running event held in Glenelg, South Australia, on Saturday 28–29 November 2026. Athletes can choose either a 6-hour or 12-hour format, starting at 6:00pm. The event uses an AIMS-certified loop of 2.56464km with a single aid station at the start/finish that is passed each lap. The course direction rotates every three hours, with turnarounds managed by the organisers.
What the Course Demands
This format rewards steady pacing and efficient lap rhythm rather than a fixed-distance strategy. Repeated turns, frequent aid-station pass-throughs, and regular changes in direction every three hours can affect flow and require ongoing focus. With a short certified loop, time on feet accumulates quickly and managing repeated lap execution becomes a central challenge. Expect frequent opportunities to adjust approach based on how you are tracking across the night.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who prefer time-based racing and can stay consistent over many laps. It works well for athletes aiming to benchmark endurance over 6 hours or extend into an overnight 12-hour effort without complex navigation. The looped setup also suits those who value regular access to support and simple logistics, including athletes newer to ultra-style formats who want a controlled event environment.
