Belair Marathon : Belair National Park, South Australia

The Belair Marathon is a trail running event held in Belair National Park, South Australia, on Sunday February 28, 2027. The event takes runners across forested trails, past historic buildings and pavilions, and through areas with large trees and natural wildlife.

The event offers multiple distances:

  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon
  • Marathon with close to 1500 metres of elevation gain
  • 50 km Ultra with nearly 1800 metres of elevation gain

Belair National Park was established in 1891 and features a mix of public parkland and dedicated trail sections. The course includes event-exclusive trails through parts of Belair and the nearby Crafers area. The marathon and ultra courses have substantial climbs and are described as focusing on the surrounding environment and scenery rather than flat, fast running.

The event is organised as part of the Ultra Series. Volunteers support the event operation; volunteers receive a free entry to the following year's Belair Marathon (any distance) or 20 percent off an Ultra Series event. Event materials reference aid stations and mandatory gear, indicating support and equipment requirements for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
