Please note that due to the limited parking at the Rex and surrounds, parking is going to be difficult to find. Please consider carpooling or bus travel where possible.

Bus Transport:

This year, SARRC will be providing a bus service to and from Adelaide. This will help with parking congestion and long walks to the car after your event. Buses will leave from the clubrooms on MacKinnon Parade, North Adelaide at 5:30am and 6:00am on race morning. When choosing a departure time, please be aware the trip takes 1hr. The buses will return at 11am, 12:30pm and 1:45pm (15min after course close) Bus tickets are $25 return and can be added to your entry. If you have already entered, you can buy a bus ticket HERE
