12km Race
The 12k run / walk creates an atmosphere of excitement, nervous energy and anticipation.
The 12k start has the highest number of participants. Imagine being amongst the crowd of people who fill King William St – it is truly a spectacular sight; be inspired, join over 26,000 others and register to participate.
There are always the serious athletes, the elite runners from all over Australia but overwhelmingly the majority of people are there for the fun. There will be people dressed up supporting charities or advertising local groups and businesses. As you proceed down the course you can soak up the road side entertainment and the encouragement of fellow participants or by-standers.
When you reach the Bay you will find yourself “surprised” that you made it; maybe because you’ve achieved a new personal best, or maybe just that you got to the end!

Start / Finish times
Start
Get pumped up and join in with a pre-race warm up – hosted by the Lumary Crew!
The 12km Runners leaves from the Festival Theatre – Western Carriageway of King William Road – City. If you are an elite runner or walker athlete your start time is 8.00am. Wave starts will then begin to allow traffic to flow and break up the numbers. RUNNING WITH PRAMS HAS BEEN BANNED SINCE 2012, walking is still ok.
12km Walkers and Wheelchairs leave from the Eastern Carriageway of King William Road in the city. The competitive walkers are asked to line up first at 8:20am followed by wave starts. If you are a slow walker or have a pram or object, you will line up at the back.
Finish
The event finish line is on Colley Terrace. As you head towards Glenelg, you will be directed by police and race marshals to head to Jetty Rd, either via Brighton Road or Gordon Street. When travelling along Jetty Road please be aware of the tram lines and take care turning the corner from Jetty Road onto Colley Terrace.
- Do not arrange to meet friends or family in the compound - keep moving!
- Do not stop on the finish line. Walk quickly through the channels past the marshals with the timing wands.
