Western Sydney Parklands Trail Run

Overview

With those mornings getting fresher by the day, you're probably after a little extra motivation to hit the pavement for your pre-breakfast jog. And the inaugural Western Sydney Parklands Trail Run might be just what you need to set your sights on.

The brand new event hits the sprawling grounds of Western Sydney Parklands on Saturday, June 22, with distances to suit novices and running fiends alike. Start training for the 35 kilometre, 19 or 11 race, or sign up for the friendlier 4 kilometre Family Fun Run.

Affectionately known as 'Sydney's Biggest Backyard', the 5000-hectare bushland site has tracks and trails to suit all degrees of running skill — plus, plenty of breathtaking views for when you need a distraction from your burning lungs. Put away the kilometres as you run between picturesque markers like Moonrise Lookout, Sugarloaf Ridge, The Dairy, and Plough and Harrow.
