Welcome to the 2026 Parramatta Race Series, with each race consisting of a 21.1 km Half Marathon, 10 km, 5 km, or 2 km Family Dash.

Race 1 follows our usual scenic route along the Parramatta Valley Cycleway, stretching between George Kendall Riverside Park and Western Sydney University along the Parramatta River.

For Races 2 and 3, the course shifts south of the river to Silverwater Park, following the river walk and Louise Sauvage Pathway into Sydney Olympic Park.

At each event, all finishers will receive a new themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher certificate.

GETTING THERE

By car – There are car parks available at the end of Trumper Street, Trumble Street, and off Broadoaks Street. There are plenty of parking spaces in the residential streets surrounding the park if the car parks are full. Please do not park over people’s driveways. Car share with fellow competitors where possible.

By public transport – the 524 bus travels down Boronia Street, which is only a 5-minute walk to the park. 501, 523, 525, and 544 buses all stop within a 15-minute walk of the park.

OTHER DETAILS

All event distances are professionally chip timed by Multisport Australia.

Each finisher will receive a new themed medal at the finish line, as well as other sponsor giveaways and snacks.

The 2 km race is a Family Dash event aimed at getting youngsters involved in healthy outdoor activities. An accompanying adult can run with their child for an additional $10. Register your child first, then add an accompanying adult bib during the registration options. Please note the accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher’s medal.

There are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km. There is a cut-off time of 3.5 hours for the Half Marathon event.

Race bibs are printed three weeks before race day and posted two weeks out. To have your name on your bib, make sure you register at least three weeks before the event. If you’d like your bib posted, the cut-off is two weeks before race day.

There will be a photographer present on the course taking photos of you, which will be posted on our socials following the race.

There WILL be other pedestrians and cyclists on the paths. We recommend that you do not use earphones, and you need to pay close attention to everything around you. Please be aware of people, cyclists, and dogs.
