Barossa Marathon Festival

Late August in the Barossa means cool, crisp mornings perfect for a fast run, with the vines just beginning to hint at autumn color. After you cross the finish line, treat yourself to a cellar-door tasting at a historic winery like Seppeltsfield or Penfolds, and don’t leave without a hearty lunch of local produce—think smoked meats, artisan cheese, and fresh-baked bread—at a village café in Tanunda or Angaston. It’s a chance to combine a personal best with the region’s famous hospitality.
