About this event

The McLaren Vale Running Festival is a road running event set in one of South Australia’s most scenic wine regions, with race options including a 5km, 10km and half marathon. The course follows the Shiraz Trail through McLaren Vale and towards Willunga, with the half marathon running between McLaren Vale and Willunga and the shorter distances heading towards Willunga and back.

Known for its fast, flat and well-maintained bitumen course, the festival is a popular choice for runners aiming for a strong time or personal best. Support along the route typically includes water stations and first aid, with fruit and sports drink available at the finish. It is held close to Adelaide, making it an accessible event for both local runners and visitors looking for a relaxed race experience in a beautiful setting.
