Full Port Loop Coastal Half Marathon Route Breakdown
The course starts and finishes near the Port Adelaide town centre, following the waterfront along the Port River, passing historic wharves, the old railway bridge, and the vibrant market precinct. The route is primarily flat, on paved roads and shared footpaths, offering sea breezes and panoramic views of the Port Adelaide skyline. Runners will enjoy a mix of urban and coastal scenery, with plenty of cheering spectators and local volunteers. The 5km option is a quick loop, the 10km adds an extra stretch along the riverbank, and the half marathon loops back for a longer challenge. All distances are well marked and supported with water stations.

Training Strategy for Port Loop Coastal Half Marathon
10-14 weeks is a solid window for a first half marathon; 8-10 weeks is enough if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Build your long run up gradually rather than jumping straight to race distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 7-10 days while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at the start line fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
Half Marathon Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
