Where Ultra Adelaide 34km starts and finishes

Ultra Adelaide 34km starts at Pinky Flat, Adelaide, 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 Ultra Adelaide 34km Route Breakdown

Ultra Adelaide traces the renowned Heysen Trail, launching from the rugged hills of Kuitpo and climbing through Mount Lofty, Cleland, Morialta and Black Hill before descending along the River Torrens. Runners experience a mix of native bushland, open ridgelines, and historic parklands, with spectacular views of the Adelaide skyline as they approach the finish. The course includes over 4,800 m of elevation gain for the 100‑mile distance, with shorter routes offering proportionally less climbing. Aid stations are strategically placed at Rocky Creek, Mylor, Mt Lofty, McElligott’s Quarry, Cleland, Norton Summit, Montacute, Gorge Road and Brookway Park, providing water, nutrition and morale boosts. Whether tackling the 21 km or the full ultra, participants enjoy a well‑marked trail that winds from the mountains to the heart of the city.

Training Strategy for Ultra Adelaide 34km

Standard Training Window

6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 21.13-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.

Terrain Specificity

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.

The Taper Phase

Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Pinky Flat, Adelaide, South Australia fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.

Pacing Execution

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.

Fuel & Hydration Prep

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.

21.13-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan

2-3 Days Prior

A deliberate increase in carbohydrate over the two to three days before the race is the well-established approach at marathon distance.

Race Morning

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.

On-Course Fueling

Most runners take on carbohydrate every 30 to 45 minutes from about an hour in, alongside fluid at the on-course stations.

Post-Race Recovery

A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
