Conquer The Summit 2025 will be held on Sunday, 23 March 2025 and for the first time we are excited to offer a half-marathon (21.1), quarter-marathon (10.55) and 5 kilometre distance option!

Conquer the Summit is a community running event held in March every year in the beautiful Adelaide Hills at Mt Barker with distance options for all ages and fitness levels.

First held in 2012, the  main purpose of this iconic event is to raise funds for Operation Flinders and other charities that support our local youth. The event is a major fundraiser of Mt Barker Lions and Rotary Clubs.​

The event begins at the Summit Sport and Recreation Park before running through the surrounding rural area, following a combination of roadside, fire track, vineyard and trail all the way to the top of Mt Barker Summit.
