On 15 February 2026, the Semaphore Classic once again invites runners, walkers and families to hit the coastal path of the Semaphore Esplanade/Coast Park for a 5 km or 10 km run-walk beside the sea. Starting and finishing near Point Malcolm Reserve / the jetty area, the course follows a simple paved seaside out-and-back on the shared pedestrian/bike path — flat, scenic, and welcoming even to casual walkers or first-time runners. The casual, low-key vibe makes it very accessible: participants don’t need to belong to any club, kids and dogs are often welcome (depending on race-day rules), and the event emphasizes fun, community and coastal views over competition. With likely friendly entry fees, a relaxed registration process, and no major elevation or technical terrain, Semaphore Classic works as a gentle seaside run or walk rather than a hard-core race. A perfect start to the year for anyone near Adelaide wanting fresh air, sea breeze and simple coastal running.
