Traffic Controls & Detours

The Myponga Loop (a 19 km run circumnavigating Myponga Reservoir) will be run on Sunday 18 August 2024 starting at 8:00 am on Hansen Street, Myponga.  The run will mostly be on trails inside the reservoir grounds, but there are two sections of Main South Road where traffic controls will be in place for runners using the roadway and one section of Reservoir Road across the dam wall.

See below for the course map and details of traffic controls, road closures and detours that will be in place.  Timings are inclusive of time for traffic controls to be set up & packed down.  Roads will re-open as soon as possible after the last runner has passed through and traffic control can be packed up.
