Course
A timed lap race at Thorndon Park in Paradise, about 20km north-east of Adelaide, run on a 1.426km loop around the reservoir. An aid station sits by the start/finish line, so runners pass it every lap. Entrants choose a 6 day, 72 hour or 48 hour format and accumulate distance rather than racing a set course length.
