South Australia > Adelaide > The Great Kanku-Breakaways MarathonThe Great Kanku‑Breakaways Marathon and Fun Run is held in the magnificent Kanku–Breakaways Conservation Park, 30kms north of Coober Pedy, in outback South Australia.
Originally run from Coober Pedy to the Breakaways, the event began after a casual conversation between two local residents.
In 2018 the Kanku–Breakaways Co-management Board took over the running of the event as a way to promote the park, encourage visitors to see it from a different perspective and raise awareness of the cultural connection Aboriginal people have to the area.
The event is now held wholly in the conservation park, a registered Aboriginal heritage site. It winds through the spectacular-coloured hills, along the dog fence and back to the lookouts.
Competitors may enter in 42.2km, 21.1km, 10km or 5km distances or as part of a 10km team event. Plus there's a special 2.5km fun run for kids under 12 years.
