About the race
The Granite Island Run takes place on 20 June 2027 in Victor Harbor and follows routes that include the island causeway, tram lines, gravel trails and short steep climbs on Granite Island. The event offers a long course, a short course and a Kids' Dash. Both the long and short courses require participants to be at least 12 years old on race day unless accompanied by an adult.
The Kids' Dash is suitable for wheelchairs and prams; the long and short courses are not suitable for wheelchairs or prams because they include stairs and a steep climb. Courses close at 9:30 am and presentations follow soon afterwards. Electronic transponder timing is used; runners are issued a race bib with a timing tag that must be worn at waist height on the outside front of clothing. Race number bibs remain the runner's keepsake.
A lost or forgotten bib can be replaced at bib collection for a replacement fee of $20. Event marquees for bib pickup, bag drop and merchandise are located on the lawns in front of the Causeway Café; the bag drop tent is unattended during the event. Race packs posted to entrants are posted about three weeks before the event and may be collected from designated Running Company locations in the lead up to the race. Headphones are strongly discouraged.
Dogs are not permitted on Granite Island except assistance dogs; organisers request advance notice if an assistance dog will attend. Medals and engraving are optional purchases. Online registration closes at midnight on the Thursday before race day; limited in person entries are available on race morning for additional fees.
