Granite Island Run

Granite Island Run

The Granite Island Run is a coastal running event held in Victor Harbor on 16 August 2026. The event offers a long course, a short course and a Kids' Dash that crosses the causeway to Granite Island. The route includes a causeway, tram lines, gravel trails, stairs and some steep, short climbs on Granite Island.

Runners in the long and short courses must 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 due to stairs and a steep climb on the island. Dogs are not permitted on Granite Island except for assistance dogs, and organisers request advance notice if an assistance dog will be present.

Registration options include online entry and in-person entry on race morning where available; in-person fees apply for late entries. Entries may be transferred between distances, with additional fees or refund rules applying depending on timing and direction of transfer. Basic refund insurance is included with entries, and an optional Diamond Cover provides additional refund protection.

Race packs can be posted or collected from The Running Company within specified pickup dates; posted packs are sent approximately three weeks before the event. Electronic timing is used via an electronic tag on the race bib; bibs should be worn at waist height and kept visible. A replacement bib is available for a fee. Event marquees will provide bib pickup, an unmanned bag drop and medical services on the event lawn near the causeway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
