Barossa Marathon Festival

The Rex Aquatic Centre on Magnolia Road serves as the start and finish for the Barossa Marathon Festival, with Château Tanunda close by and the Barossa Valley itself providing the main attraction. This is a road race with a distinct character: fast, flat, and efficient, appealing to first-time marathoners and those seeking personal bests due to its exceptionally level terrain. On the course, participants will run along "scenic vineyard-lined roads" in the "heart of the Barossa Valley," with the marathon turnaround located at Faith Lutheran College to the east. Expect open road running, smooth surfaces, and "uninterrupted views of historic wineries and rolling vineyards" instead of urban clamor; the race village at The Rex offers essential amenities for runners, such as toilets, showers, bag drop, coffee, food, and space to congregate post-race.
