Where SA Track Ultra Half Marathon starts and finishes
SA Track Ultra Half Marathon starts at SA Athletics Stadium, Mile End, South Australia. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full SA Track Ultra Half Marathon Route Breakdown
The SA Track Ultra is run entirely on the synthetic all-weather track at SA Athletics Stadium (formerly Santos Stadium) in Mile End, promoted as South Australia's flattest ultra marathon. Runners choose from a Kid's Dash, 21.1km, 30km, 42.2km, 50km, 50 miles, 100km or 100 miles, with a mass start at 10am Saturday and a 2pm Sunday cut-off for every distance except the 24-hour race. Being a repeating lap course, aid is available every 400m, removing the logistics of a point-to-point ultra so runners can focus purely on pace. The stadium has previously hosted national 50km and 100km track championships, and the event is IAU Labelled and AUTRA Listed, giving it genuine standing on Australia's ultra-running calendar.

Training Strategy for SA Track Ultra 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 SA Athletics Stadium, Mile End, South Australia 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.
