Pakapakanthi/Victoria Park hosts the start of the SA racing season, a chance to "Brush off the winter blues." This event marks the first stop of the Adelaide Duathlon Series, taking place on the Rose Park side of the parklands circuit. It offers the atmosphere of an early-season workout rather than a large-scale event.
The duathlon follows a straightforward run-bike-run format, where transitions reveal participants' preparation levels. Competitions are available for Kids, Enticer, and Sprint distances, attracting a diverse field of juniors, newcomers trying the format, and experienced racers seeking a competitive winter event before the main season begins.
