Have a look at our course map! Our AIMS certified course begins and finishes in The Domain, following a scenic 5k loop (or multiple loops for the 10k and half marathon) taking in the magnificent views of Sydney Harbour.
If there should be any modifications to the course, we will update the map here.
We also now have the below interactive course map, where you can select your distance for a better feel of each individual course.
You can also have a peak at the 5k loop elevation profile by selecting the link above. The biggest challenge in the loop is the section around Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, so don't forget to incorporate a few undulations in your training runs/walks!
Get your medal engraved on site!
For $15, you can have your event medal personalised after your run, just visit Daniel from Adlaser Engraving Services who will be on site.
Your Run2Cure medal can be engraved with a name, in honour or in memory of, who you ran for. Or, have your medal engraved with your race time. Whatever you choose, it's a lasting memento to remember your day, plus $4 from each engraving will be generously donated back to the charity!
