Event Overview
Mother’s Day Classic Adelaide is held on 10 May 2026 at Tarndanya Pinky Flat in Adelaide, South Australia. The event offers 4km and 7km options with separate run and walk start waves scheduled across the morning. An “Embrace & Honour” walk wave is listed for both distances, with a moment of silence at the start line. The venue includes an event village operating from early morning, and the course is noted as wheelchair and pram friendly.
What the Course Demands
Both courses start and finish at Pinky Flat and use an out-and-back style layout with key turning points such as footbridges and the weir. The 4km route heads east toward King William Street before looping back, while the 7km course continues under multiple bridges to the Hackney Street Bridge before returning. With several wave starts, athletes should plan for congestion near bridges and marshal-directed crossings, particularly early in the event.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and walkers looking for a short, structured community run with clear start times and simple distance choices. The 4km option can work well for first-time participants or those returning to consistent running, while 7km better fits athletes wanting a slightly longer continuous effort without complex logistics. It also suits participants who value accessible event operations, including pram and wheelchair friendliness.
