The Morning Circuit
The first Saturday of summer is host to a delicious new run club and sandwich collab.
In partnership with 
Overview
As 2025 races to a close, there's one trend that's well and truly left its mark on the year. The humble run club has proven its longevity — hi, Labubus and Dubai chocolate — with one for just about everything and everyone. But, have you ever joined a run club where the sole purpose is to get you not from A to B, but from A to a free sandwich, iced coffee and a DJ set? Didn't think so.
Allow us to introduce The Morning Circuit, a run club event hosted by Abbott's Bakery, Concrete Playground, Rolling Stone AU/NZ, and Refinery29, taking place Saturday, December 6, from 7am until 10am. Then, from 8am–10am at the finish line, the morning afterparty kicks off.
Registrations have now closed.
The roughly seven-kilometre route will loop through Circular Quay's landmarks for a view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge bathed in morning light. There will be three groups to suit all levels of pace with five-minute, six-minute, and seven-minute kilometre splits. The run is being delivered in partnership with Sydney Harbour Runners and China Town Run Club.
Of course, it all culminates in your arrival at Kosta's Takeaway Circular Quay location for free sandwiches, free iced coffees and a Saturday morning DJ set.

If you've visited Kosta's Takeaway before, you'll know its sandwiches are all about simple flavours done to an exceptional standard. Think classic, but not basic. On the totally free menu, you'll find two one-off sandwiches made with Abbott's Bakery's latest bread flavour combinations and the sandwich flavour profiles of the Kosta's Takeaway crew.
The Green Machine is the first option. Expect a punch of freshness and colour with avocado, tomato, beetroot, pickled carrots, provolone, rocket, furikake (a Japanese mix of seaweed and sesame seeds), salad cream, and hummus served between two slices of Abbott's Bakery High Protein Loaf. Then we have the aptly named The Shred Sandwich. Perfectly seasoned poached chicken, avocado, crunchy slaw, and lashings of pickled mayo spread over Abbott's Bakery Lower Carb Loaf.
Abbott's Bakery's High Protein Soy, Chickpea & Quinoa and Lower Carb White Bread are to thank for the pop-up. So, what better way to sample the new flavours than with an early morning DJ set and free sandwich from one of Sydney's best? Abbott's Bakery High Protein comes with 24 percent of your recommended protein daily intake in two slices — aka, a sandwich — while Abbott's Bakery Lower Carb White has 50 percent fewer carbs per serve*, so you can dig in knowing your macros are well on track. A nice bit of closure after a run like that.
Register for your free place on the website, and keep an eye out for more details closer to the event.
*Abbott's Bakery® Lower Carb White has 50 percent less carbohydrate (16.6 g per serve) than Abbott's Bakery® Rustic White (36.3 g per serve)
