Map of Adelaide100® trail

The Adelaide100® is a 100km circuit walk that traverses the city and the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. It can be started from any point along the circuit, and spans from the beautiful coastline, through the CBD and suburbs, and into the Adelaide Hills. The circuit utilises existing trails, accommodation, and services.

Attractive and enjoyable walking environments are the foundation of healthy communities. The Adelaide100® will enable more people to walk more often.
