Myponga Loop

Myponga Loop

Myponga Loop is a running event on 31 May 2026 held at Myponga Reservoir. The long course circumnavigates the reservoir, includes a dam wall crossing while closed to traffic, and gives access to trail sections that are not normally open to the public. The short course and kids dash use established trails within the Myponga Reservoir Reserve.

• Long course: 19 km circumnavigation of Myponga Reservoir, includes dam wall crossing.
• Short course: wide hard-packed tracks; suitable for prams and wheelchairs despite some hills.
• Kids dash: flat groomed path, suitable for prams and wheelchairs.

The long course contains about 5 km of road and roughly 14 km of wide, hard-packed fire tracks; it is better suited to road running shoes. The short course is also on wide, hard-packed vehicle tracks and road shoes are recommended, especially in dry conditions.

Minimum ages apply: participants must be at least 15 years old on race day for the long course, and at least 12 years old for the short course unless accompanied by an adult. Dogs are not permitted in the reservoir grounds except assistance dogs; organisers should be notified in advance so SA Water can be informed.

Electronic transponder timing is used. Race bibs contain timing tags and must be worn at waist height on the outside front of clothing. Race packs can be posted about three weeks before the event or collected from The Running Company during the specified pickup window in May 2026.
