The Uni Loop

Adelaide's iconic Uni Loop sits just north of the River Torrens. Surrounding Park 10 it is a popular training ground for elite athletes, fun runners, and university students alike.

The Uni Loop run is a 'frypan-shaped' loop of 2.2km around Warnpangga (Park 10).

The run starts at the 0 marker on Mackinnon Parade and heads west towards Adelaide Oval for 600m. The loop then arcs left towards Adelaide Zoo, before turning left again and winding back East for a flat first 1200m. This is followed by a 200m descent then 200m short climb leaving the runners with 600m left of flat running to complete the loop.
