TRSA Marion Coastal Walking Trail social run

TRSA Marion Coastal Walking Trail social run

Date: Tue, 26 January 2021

Meeting time and place: 6:45am at Brighton Jetty

This is a social run and the course will not be marked but is very straight forward to follow. Go at your own pace and turn around whenever suits.

Route notes:

Start from Brighton Jetty at 7.00am and follow the esplanade path southwards. After 2.5 kms this becomes the Marion Coastal Walking Trail (signposted).

The trail continues for  another 5.5 kms and about 700 steps, all along the coast, passing famous geological features. There are toilets and drinking fountains along the way.

Turn around at the Boatshed Cafe in Hallett Cove Conservation Park and return to Brighton Jetty for a well earned breakfast at one of many cafes.

Getting there

  • Click here for directions in google maps to Foxfield Oval.
  • Click here for directions in google maps to Norton Summit. We are relying on people to car pool so please head to Norton Summit and co-ordinate rides down to Foxfield Oval from there. Please DO NOT park in the Scenic Hotel carpark, the church car park, or the community centre car park as these will all be in use on the Sunday morning. Instead, please park along Crescent Drive, entering at the community centre end and exiting at the other end to minimise congestion and the impact on other people in the area on Sunday morning.
