Event Details
Course Description
The BBBRun takes you on a scenic journey through Wentworth Point and across the iconic Bennelong Bridge, offering participants a rare opportunity to run on this bridge free from traffic. The 10km and half marathon courses are predominantly flat and fast, perfect for chasing personal bests whilst taking in spectacular views of the Sydney skyline and waterways. The 2km family course provides a shorter bridge crossing experience, making it accessible for runners of all ages and abilities. All routes benefit from road closures ensuring a safe, traffic-free environment. Starting from Footbridge Boulevard, the courses showcase the modern urban landscape of Sydney Olympic Park precinct whilst celebrating inclusivity through dedicated wheelchair racing and framerunning events.
Quick Facts
Getting There
The race starts at Footbridge Boulevard, Wentworth Point, approximately 15km west of Sydney CBD. Ample parking is available in the Wentworth Point area and Sydney Olympic Park precinct. Public transport users can take the train to Olympic Park station, then walk or catch a connecting bus to Wentworth Point. The venue is also accessible via the Sydney Ferry network to Sydney Olympic Park Wharf. Arrive by 5:45 AM for registration, with staggered race starts from 6:40 AM onwards.
Weather & What to Pack
Late October in Sydney typically brings pleasant spring weather with temperatures ranging from 15-24°C. Mornings can be cool at the early start times, so consider wearing layers you can shed as the day warms up. Expect mild humidity and the possibility of spring showers, though conditions are generally favourable for running. The early morning start helps avoid the midday heat. Stay well hydrated before and during the race, and don't forget sunscreen and a hat for post-race activities as UV levels increase through the morning.
