Adelaide Harriers King's Birthday Fun Run 2026

The Adelaide Harriers King's Birthday Fun Run is a 5km turkey handicap race starting at Blue Gum Park, Park 20, Adelaide. It takes place at 10 am on the Monday of the King's Birthday June long weekend. The objective is not to be the fastest runner. Before the start, each participant predicts their 5km time and runs the race without a watch. The runner whose actual finish time is closest to their nominated time wins. This means a runner who paces carefully can defeat a faster competitor. Adelaide Harriers organizes the event, which welcomes club runners, casual participants, families, and newcomers. As Australia's longest-running turkey handicap race, this local fun run carries a piece of running history.
