State Titles will return to Adelaide Superdrome at Gepps Cross for the 2026 edition.
This year the majority of the course will be within the Superdrome boundary and the south-eastern sloping grass area, with a short excursion into Forrester's Forest to transition between the two.
Expect a lot of grass, undulations, off-camber corners... and just a few hairpins.

Course Setup: We'll be setting up the majority of the course on Saturday from 9am
Food / Beverage: Trott Park Fencing Club BBQ / Coffee TBA
