Course Description

The 21.1 km Parramatta Half Marathon takes runners on a fast, flat circuit through the heart of Western Sydney. Starting at 10 am, the course winds along the historic streets of Parramatta, showcasing the city’s blend of colonial architecture and modern skyline. Runners will pass key landmarks such as the Parramatta River precinct and the bustling central business district, offering plenty of cheering spectators and photo‑ops. The road surface is sealed and mostly level, making it ideal for personal best attempts. Aid stations are positioned at regular intervals, providing water and energy supplies to keep you fueled from start to finish. The finish line is located near the vibrant town square, where medals await runners.

Weather & What to Pack

June in Western Sydney is winter, with daytime highs around 18 °C and overnight lows near 8 °C. Expect cool, dry conditions and occasional light rain. Dress in layers – a moisture‑wicking base, a warm mid‑layer and a wind‑proof jacket. A hat or gloves can help early‑morning chill, and stay hydrated even in cooler weather. Consider bringing a lightweight water bottle or using the aid stations, as thirst can still occur despite the cooler temps.
