Adelaide University Athletics Club Event – Run The Loop 2026

6.30pm Friday 16th January 2026

The Uni Loop (Park 10, War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide)

Masters Race

Kick off 2026 with purpose — and pace! This year, we’re excited to be teaming up with SA Masters Athletics to offer special categories for Over 35 and Over 55 athletes.

Whether you’re chasing a time, setting a goal, or simply enjoying the thrill of racing around Adelaide’s most iconic loop — this is the event for you. It’s a celebration of experience, fitness, and community.

When entering, be sure to select Yes to the Masters Category if you’d like to compete in the dedicated Masters race. Age groups beyond that will be determined by date of birth. If you’d prefer to race in the Open waves based on seed time, you’re welcome to select Open instead, but will not be eligible for Masters prizes.

Financial SAMA members receive free entry to the Masters races. Please contact Viddy Jermacans to obtain your discount code before registering.

See the Run the Loop website for more information, including the trophies, prizes & gift vouchers on offer.

The Course

The Uni Loop – Adelaide’s iconic Uni Loop sits just north of the River Torrens, surrounding Park 10 — a popular training ground for elite athletes, fun runners, and university students alike. It’s fast, flat, and scenic — the perfect spot to test yourself over an uninterrupted 2.2 kilometre loop.

The Uni Loop run is a ‘frypan-shaped’ loop of 2.2km around Warnpangga (Park 10), incorporating both flat straights and gentle bends.
