Walk, run or ride a loop around Adelaide completely through Park Lands A lap around the city is about 16km – a perfect distance for a good spring walk.
But pick your own adventure: add in North Adelaide for a longer route; just do a few kilometres; cycle several laps; jog with a pram… the how and how far is up to you!
The main group will depart from the Himeji Japanese Garden at 9am, and walk in an anticlockwise direction aiming to finish back at Himeji Gardens several hours later. Join this group if you wish OR do your own loop.
Either way, wear some green, take photos on the way to post using #parklandsloop, and keep an eye out for fellow loopers!
