Run over the Harbour Bridge and raise vital funds for neuroscience research
Blackmores Sydney Running Festival – Everything you need to know!
About the Festival
The Blackmores Sydney Running Festival is a legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. It started in 2001 when the NSW Government approved the continuation of a marathon in Sydney to promote fitness and health for the NSW community and to position Sydney as an international tourist destination.
The Blackmores Sydney Running Festival is run on one of the most spectacular courses in the world, taking in all of the Sydney iconic landmarks and providing all runners with the unique opportunity of crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge – traffic free!

Who, What, Where and When?
The event is open to anyone and there are four different race courses to choose from: Sydney Marathon (42kms), the Half Marathon (21kms), the Bridge Run (10kms) and the Family Fun Run (3.5kms).
Whether you are an elite athlete, club runner, gym member, or simply someone who enjoys a social walk or jog there is a run to suit all fitness levels.
All races start at Bradfield Park, Milsons Point and take runners over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Marathon, Half Marathon and Bridge Run finish at the Sydney Opera House whilst the Family Fun Run has its own unique finish at the Conservatorium of Music (the entrance of the Royal Botanic Gardens.)
Race day is on Sunday, 16 September 2018.
