Welcome to the fifth year of our popular RESERVOIR RUN event in Happy Valley SA. The event is held on part of the reservoir's new trail network.
A "RUN HAPPY" event.
The recently upgraded Happy Valley Reservoir opened to the public for the first time in more than 120 years on 11 Dec 2021.
"Happy Valley Reservoir now features a 20-kilometre trail network for walking, running and bike riding, 110 hectares of water for kayaking and fishing, as well as new amenities such as two kayak launch areas, on-site car parking, barbecues, picnic shelters, a boardwalk jetty and lookout offering stunning views over the water"
“The site’s 20 kilometres of trails will take people along the water’s edge, through a pine forest, native flora and open grassy areas, which can be travelled on foot or on your mountain bikes and be ready to explore in time for a bumper summer holiday period"
“Adventure, family fun and environmental preservation underpin a wonderful nature experience at Happy Valley – situated right in the heart of metropolitan Adelaide and part of our once in a generation Glenthorne National Park precinct"
