Event Details
Course Description
The 21.1 km closed road course starts on O’Connell Street in the heart of Parramatta’s CBD, winds through the leafy Parramatta Park, loops back past the historic river foreshore and iconic heritage buildings, before heading north to a spectacular finish inside CommBank Stadium. The route is flat, fully sealed and well‑marked, with aid stations every 5 km and free public transport options. Runners experience a mix of urban scenery, parkland views and riverbank ambience, making the race both scenic and fast‑friendly.
Getting There
The start line is on O’Connell Street, just a short walk from Parramatta train station. Limited on‑site parking is available at the nearby Parramatta Square car park (pay‑and‑display). Free public transport is provided on race day; use train services to Parramatta Station or bus routes 501, 521, and 525. Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes before the 7:00 AM start to collect your bib and warm up.
Weather & What to Pack
June is winter in Australia, so expect cool conditions. In Western Sydney the average high is around 18 °C with lows near 8 °C. Light layers, a wind‑proof jacket and a hat are advisable, as mornings can be chilly while the sun may warm the course later. Stay hydrated but you won’t need heavy sweating gear – a breathable running top and gloves if you tend to feel cold are ideal.
