5K STARTS AT 7AM
Fun & achievable for the whole family
What better way to spend a Sunday morning than a flat and easy 5k run or walk with your friends?
The Real Insurance Sydney Harbour 5km takes in some of Sydney’s most beautiful sights and is designed for participants of all ages and abilities. The course starts on George Street, the Rocks, and continues around the edge of Sydney Harbour, under the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge before an out and back section along Hickson Road. Runners will return beneath the Harbour Bridge following the foreshore to the finish line, overlooking the Sydney Opera House.
For slower runners, joggers or walkers it is important to be in the correct wave and corresponding starting group. There are two waves according to the expected finish time. Select the start wave that reflects a pace (km/min) based on your training and past race experiences. All prams and wheelchairs (except elite racing chairs) must be in the final start group (C Group).
All results will be based on GUN TIME (as per World Athletics rules) although participants will be provided with a NET TIME for reference. Please note: all changes must be made prior to Sunday, 3 July 2022 if you have selected to have your Race bib posted due to packing requirements.
