5Ks in South Australia, in context

Verus covers 41 5ks in South Australia, out of 284 races there — roughly 14% of what is on here.

The dates are spread across 11 months of the year, which gives real choice about when to peak rather than forcing a single date.

Only one of them publishes an elevation figure: Park Stampede 5K, at 0ft of climb. Where an organiser has not published one, this site says so rather than estimating.
