Event Details
About This Event
Experience a scenic run through Bungarribee Park with 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon options on 18 Oct 2026. Flat, sealed loops and free entry make it perfect for runners of all abilities.
Course Description
The race starts at the Rooty Hill parkrun launch point near the Bung Shelter and main carpark. Runners follow a large out‑and‑back loop that never takes you more than 1.5 km from the start. The majority of the course is on sealed concrete/bitumen paths, with two short gravel sections and a brief dirt stretch that can turn muddy after rain. Along the way you’ll enjoy open parkland, native bushland edges and occasional views of the Nepean River. The flat terrain and repeatable loops are ideal for pacing and personal bests, while the varied surface adds a touch of challenge.
Quick Facts
Getting There
From Sydney CBD, take the M4 west to the Richmond Road exit, then follow signs to Bungarribee Park carpark (approx 15 km). Free parking is available near the start area, but spaces fill quickly. Public transport: catch a train to Rooty Hill Station and walk about 10 minutes to the launch point. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect your bib and warm up.
Weather & What to Pack
October is spring in Australia. In Western Sydney the typical daytime high is around 24 °C with overnight lows near 12 °C. Expect moderate humidity and a chance of light showers. Dress in light layers you can peel off, wear a hat and sunscreen, and carry a water bottle. A lightweight wind‑breaker is useful for early‑morning chill.
