ATR Summer Series 1: Venue TBC

The Adelaide Trail Runners Summer Series is an annual five-race trail running event held from November to March across South Australia.

Race 1 kicks off on Sunday, 22 November 2026, at a location to be confirmed.

Each race offers multiple course options to suit different abilities: a short course (8–10km), a medium course (13–15km), and a long course (18–22km).

A non-competitive Fun 5 (approximately 5–6km) is also available for new runners or youth aged 10 years and older.

To be eligible for series awards, participants must start a minimum of four out of the five races.

Runners earn points for finishing in the top five of their age group and the top five overall for their chosen distance.

Only the best four scores count for the final standings, with the fifth race carrying a 50% bonus point multiplier.

Overall distance winners receive medals at the end-of-season presentations, and age group medals are awarded only to male and female winners.

Non-binary entrants are welcome to participate, though no prizes are offered for those categories.

Minimum entry ages are 15 years for the long course, 12 years for the medium course, and 10 years for the short course, with exceptions possible by prior permission.

Starting a race counts toward the minimum four-race requirement even if a runner later withdraws due to injury, though no points are earned for that race.

Participants deemed to abuse this rule in an unsportsmanlike manner may be disqualified from series awards at the Race Directors' discretion.

Age group categories for the 2025–26 series use 10-year increments (e.g., 20–29, 30–39).

Age is determined based on the runner's age on 11 January 2026.

Prizes are awarded only in male and female categories, and entrants must register in the category of their gender at birth to be eligible.

Entries are open, and a five-race series entry option is available.

The series includes a new event called the Surf Run, which will be the final race in March 2026.

The opening event at Black Hill will also mark the club's fifth anniversary.

This course has previously hosted State Teams Championships and is known for its popularity.
