The annual Conquer the Summit Fun Run on 22 March 2026 is a community running event set in the beautiful Adelaide Hills at Mt Barker.

The 2026 event includes a Half Marathon (21.1km) run, Quarter Marathon (10.55km) run/walk and 5km distance option. The start/finish is based at Summit Sport and Recreation Park and competitors run through the surrounding area, following a combination of roadside, fire track, vineyard and trail all the way to the top of Mt Barker Summit. 5km entrants will follow the course to Ngeringa Vineyards before turning around and heading back to the start/finish line.

There is also a Kids' Dash - a fun, untimed two lap dash around the oval for children under 12.

​The event is the premier fundraising event of the Lions Club of Mount Barker and the Rotary Club of Mount Barker and has been run every April since 2012 to benefit Operation Flinders and Adelaide Hills charities. It is generously supported by the District Council of Mount Barker.

This is a cup-free event - bring your own cup/water bottle for refilling at aid stations during the race.
