KIDS FUN RUN
SUN, BEACH, AND A PROPER FINISH LINE!
Fast, flat and a whole lot of fun! The Heysen Trail Ultra Kids 2K is designed to get those little legs moving and those little smiles beaming.
​
Junior runners will experience the charm of the Victor Harbor shore, tackling a safe and easy out and back course which finishes under the Ultra Series arch, just like Mum and Dad! Expect some laughs, lots of cheers and a junior adventure which may lead on to bigger things!
WHAT MAKES THIS TRAIL RUN SO SPECIAL?
Running offers incredible benefits for young minds and bodies:
​
MINDFULNESS & FOCUS
Running requires kids to concentrate on where they place their feet, which is a fantastic way to develop focus and proprioception (awareness of their body in space).
​
PHYSICAL STRENGTH
Taking on any race gets kids to navigate a route, manage their endurance and build stability, balance and core strength.
​
CONNECT WITH NATURE
The course meanders along the Victor Harbor shore, a great opportunity to spot sea birds, breathe the fresh ocean air, maybe even see a dolphin, and unplug from screens.
​
BOOSTED CONFIDENCE
Finishing a challenging run provides an immense sense of achievement and self-esteem that they'll carry long after they cross the finish line.
WHO SHOULD JOIN THE ADVENTURE?
​
This 2K is the perfect challenge for a wide range of young adventurers:
​
THE BUDDING ATHLETE (Ages 6-10)
For children ready to take on their first official 2K distance. Running with a parent is a great way to ensure they manage their energy and enjoy the experience side-by-side.
​
THE EXPERIENCED RUNNER (Ages 11-14)
A chance to test their skills on a more technical and exciting terrain, offering a change of pace from standard track or road running.​
​
THE FAMILY UNIT
This is a brilliant opportunity for parents and children to bond over a shared, active goal. You get a workout, and they get your support every step of the way! Entry not required for supervising adults.
​
​
A NOTE ON THE ACTIVE TEEN (Ages 15-17)
Ready to step off the footpath and onto the real trail?
If you're an older teen looking for a genuine challenge, the Heysen Trail Ultra has you covered with distances built to test your legs and your determination!
​
You can pretty much enter anything up to the 50km! Take on proper elevation, rugged Fleurieu singletrack, and the electric atmosphere of a true ultra-marathon event. Ditch the pavement, tackle the terrain, and earn your spot at the finish line alongside the ultra community!
