Since 1992...
We’ve been hitting the streets since 1992. With over 30 years of history, in 2023 we gave the iconic Sydney Half Marathon a make-over. Australia’s favourite half marathon got way more fun.
Run Streetstyle
There’s something very special about running though the normally busy and bustling streets of a big city. The streets, structures, sights, and sounds all hit different. Winding your way through the heart of Sydney’s CBD will give you a unique perspective. You’re right there, in the heart of it. Soaking up the urban atmosphere and seeing those stunning Sydney landmarks. The Opera House? Harbour Bridge? Sydney Tower? Tick. Tick. Tick. Something you’ll remember forever. Big tick. Why just run any old event, when you can run streetstyle in one of the world’s great cities.
Hello Sydney
Once you’re done hitting the streets, it’s time to hit the town. Indulge in a bit of retail therapy along the city's coolest shopping strips, visit iconic landmarks, check out the buzzing art and culture scene, eat and drink at world-class restaurants and take in the scenes at super-cool rooftop bars. You could even head out East and visit famous Bondi Beach for a bit of race recovery beach-style! Whatever you choose, it’s the best excuse for a long weekend away with mates or family. Hello good times, hello Sydney.
