Adelaide 5km Fun Runs

The 5km is the easiest way into Adelaide's running scene, with free Saturday-morning parkruns along the Torrens and through the Parklands, plus events like Fitzys 5 in the North Adelaide Parklands and the twilight Corporate Cup. Adelaide's mild climate makes it a great place to start.
