EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The Hero Run is an event dedicated to celebrating the heroes in our lives – from the every day heroes (such as single parents and ultra runners) to the more fanciful heroes that don capes and save the world. Come, dressed as your favourite hero, and chance winning a prize!
*THIS EVENT SUPPORTS THE Women's Safety Services SA & Northern Adelaide Domestic Violence Services. (WSSSA & NADVS).
**Due to runner request, the Hero Run will be GoodRunnings first CONSECUTIVE MARATHON event of the year. Two marathons will be on offer Saturday the 8th and additional marathon is on offer Sunday the 9th. Saturday’s marathons are each offered at a lower price than Sunday’s to reflect the more intimate gathering and more casual infostructure. Participants can choose to enter as few or as many marathons as desired, with no requirements on order (ie, a person can choose to enter marathon #2 without needing to have done marathon #1). Anyone doing 2 or more marathons can contact GoodRunningsinfo@gmail.com for a discount code.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Hero Run is an out-and-back looped course that covers the Laratinga Wetlands and the Mount Barker Linear Trail. Three, five, and 10km runners will do one loop (with different turnaround points). Fifteen km and half marathon runners will do two loops (with different turnaround points). Thirty km runners will do three loops and full marathon runners will do four loops.
