The Greenbelt Challenge takes advantage of sealed off-road trails through Linear Park following the River Torrens / Karrawirra Parri. The original Greenbelt event was a half marathon. In recent years the half marathon has been merged with what was originally known as SARRC's "River Run" which later became the "Hills to Henley" 30km event. In line with other SARRC events, shorter distances are also offered.

These runners have run this race more than once, Maybe you will be joining them? HAVE A LOOK HERE This list is nearly complete for the Greenbelt Half Marathon which started over 40 years ago. 

Distances available at Greenbelt Challenge 2021 are:
30km – River Drive Reserve-near Leanne Place, Athelstone to Harold & Cynthia Anderson Reserve, West Beach (adjacent Henley Sailing Club) ** NEW LOCATION **
21.1km – Drage Reserve, Felixstow to Harold & Cynthia Anderson Reserve, West Beach ** NEW LOCATION **
10km – Out and back from Harold & Cynthia Anderson Reserve, West Beach
