Sponsorship Announcement: The 138th Bay To Sheffield

Celebrating South Australia’s Community and Spirit

Durham Serviced Apartments is proud to sponsor the 138th Bay Sheffield, an iconic event deeply rooted in South Australia's sporting tradition. Since its inception in 1887, the Bay Sheffield has become one of the most revered footraces in the nation, drawing elite athletes and enthusiastic spectators alike to Glenelg's historic Colley Reserve.

This time-honoured race, held annually on December 28th and 29th, features the renowned 120-meter sprints for both men and women – a true showcase of speed, skill, and dedication. Beyond the premier sprint events, the Bay Sheffield includes races for juniors, veterans, and para-athletes, creating a diverse and inclusive competition that celebrates the strength and unity of our community.

Sponsoring this historic event is more than a partnership for Durham Serviced Apartments; it’s a commitment to preserving and supporting South Australia’s legacy and fostering the sense of pride and camaraderie that the Bay Sheffield inspires. As we welcome athletes and fans to our accommodations, we are excited to provide a comfortable and welcoming place to rest, reflecting the spirit of South Australian hospitality.

We invite everyone to come together for the 138th Bay Sheffield—a celebration of athletic achievement, community spirit, and the rich heritage of South Australia.
