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 plenty of other outdoor activities at the event village with more details here – https://www.westernsydneyparklands.com.au/places-to-go/lizard-log.
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.
Race times are subject to minor changes.
