The Blackmores Sydney Running Festival is our most popular training event on the race calendar. We love it because it offers a truly spectacular race course – from running across the Harbour Bridge, through the historical Royal Botanic Gardens, around the gorgeous Centennial Parklands, and finishing on the steps of the archetypal Sydney Opera House.
