The 10km and half marathon courses are AIMS certified, and the event also incorporates the NSW Half Marathon Championships, attracting a mix of championship and community participants.
What the Course Demands
With AIMS certification noted for the 10km and half marathon, the course setup is geared toward accurate distance measurement and consistent pacing. The event operates within Sydney Olympic Park, so expect a structured race environment with clearly defined start areas and marked routes. For athletes targeting the championships component, execution tends to reward steady decision-making and controlled effort across the full distance.
Who This Event Suits Best
