Sir Wilhelm Ernst Hans Franz Heysen OBE (known commonly as Hans) was a prominent South Australian artist and 9 times winner of the Wynne Prize. Famed for his Australian landscape paintings, he grew inspiration from the beauty of the Adelaide Hills through to the Flinders Ranges. It would be no coincidence that the 1200klm long world famous Heysen Trail traversing the same landscape is named after him.

It’s no secret that the Heysen Trail is stunning with those varying landscapes throughout the entire length of the trail, and the Fleurieu Peninsula is no exception.

In 2021, we celebrate 10 years of Heysen 105 and we have flipped the course upside down with the event finishing for all distances in Victor Harbour at the Heysen Village along the Esplanade and we have added a bonus 10k to the iconic “105” to celebrate!

Today, Heysen 105 is an iconic stable trail event on the Australian calendar and proudly a part of the SA Five 50.

With options of 11k, 28k, 37k, 50k, 70k or 115k, the Heysen 105 now has choices for you to quench your desire to conquer the trails!

We invite you to join the hundreds of other runners in Victor Harbour on October 23rd, 2021 to celebrate 10 years of Heysen 105.
