The Great Kanku-Breakaways Marathon is an annual running festival set in one of outback South Australia’s most striking landscapes — the colourful mesas of the Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park, about 35km north of Coober Pedy. There’s a distance for every level, from a 5km fun run up to a 72km ultra, plus cycling options, and proceeds go to local projects and causes. Dates move year to year (recent events around June), so check the official site before planning.
