Event Details
Course Description
The Western Sydney 10 at Parramatta Park follows sealed cycle and pedestrian paths, ideal for pushing a pram and resistant to rain. Runners complete three full laps plus a short extra segment of the park loop, starting near the Noller Footbridge and finishing in front of the historic George Street gatehouse. The course isn’t sign‑posted, so load the GPX file onto your watch or phone beforehand, or run with someone who knows the route. Along the way you’ll pass drinking fountains, public toilets and plenty of green scenery, making it a friendly, low‑impact 10km experience.
