🏃‍♀️ CROSS THE FINISH LINE, THEN KEEP THE CELEBRATIONS GOING! 🏁

The City-Bay Village will be buzzing across Colley Reserve and Wigley Reserve, with plenty to see, do and enjoy once you’ve finished your race.

Refuel with complimentary fresh fruit from Foodland Supermarkets, grab a coffee or something to eat from local vendors, and explore our sponsors and exhibitors for activations, giveaways, participant offers and more!

Need to recover? sportsmed and Chiropractical will be there with post-race recovery support, treatments and advice. You can also join KX Pilates Glenelg for a post-race cool down at:
Colley Reserve — 9:30am & 10:45am
Wigley Reserve — 10:00am

Families and participants who may benefit from a quieter environment can visit Autism SA’s Sensory Bus on Wigley Reserve.

Then head to the Colley Reserve main stage with Johnny Keko from 10:00am for presentations, competition announcements and prizes, before heading over to Wigley Reserve main stage with Ｔｏｍｍｙ Ｔｅｑｕｉｌａ when he takes over and keeps the Village atmosphere going.

And, of course, don’t forget to stop by the City-Bay merchandise area to pick up your 2026 keepsake.

See you at the bay 🌊

Across four episodes, Tony shares some brilliant advice — whether you're chasing a PB, tackling your first City-Bay, or simply hoping to keep moving for many years to come.
