On 15 November 2026, the Glenelg Classic returns as South Australian Road Runners Club’s final road event of the year, built around two distances: a 5km and 10km run/walk, with a free U12 kids’ 290m dash to cap off the morning. All races start and finish at Wigley Reserve in Glenelg North and follow a picturesque coastal path that runs beside the Patawalonga and along the beachfront on sealed shared paths. The profile is essentially flat, with wide, smooth surfaces that make it welcoming for walkers, beginners and families, while still offering PB potential over both distances. With electronic timing, drink stations, finisher medals, free event photos and a relaxed seaside atmosphere, it’s a classic, low-stress way to close out the running year on Adelaide’s coast.

The 10km at the Glenelg Classic takes place on Sunday 15 November 2026, organised by the South Australian Road Runners Club (SARRC) from Wigley Reserve, Glenelg North, Adelaide, South Australia, following a flat, out-and-back coastal path that heads south along the foreshore and the Somerton boardwalk before returning to Wigley Reserve.
