Join us as we follow Sydney’s spectacular foreshore – taking in secluded beaches, old lighthouses, craggy cliffs and exquisite views.
We’re super-excited about our latest adventure – ‘Adventure of the Bays’ – taking place on Sat 05 June 2021. We’ve teamed up with our running friends from North Shore Run Club (NSRC) to join the fun, make new running friends and experience the stunning landscape that we live in. Our adventure will start at the Opera House and follows the coastline – taking in Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watsons Bay. Runners/joggers/walkers can choose their distance – 5km short, 10k medium, or 20km long.
What is the course?
The course starts on the steps of the Opera House and takes in one of the most scenic coastal walking tracks in Sydney Harbour National Park – including secluded beaches, beautiful parks, picturesque bays and amazing panoramic views of the city and the harbour. There are 3 options to choose from:
