Fast, Scenic and Full of Energy: Sydney’s Must-Run 10K is Back

Ready to shake off the winter blues? Lace up for one of Sydney’s best races- where flat roads, harbour views and high vibes come standard.

Beloved by elite athletes and everyday runners alike, the Real Insurance Harbour 10 is your chance to fly through the city streets on a course that’s fast, photogenic and seriously fun. Whether you’re out to smash your PB or just looking for a feel-good run with your crew, this race has your name on it.

The Course The Captures The City

Starting and finishing in the historic Rocks precinct, the 10 km is a single loop that hugs the edge of Sydney Harbour. You’ll cruise past Walsh Bay, sweep under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, loop around Barangaroo and Pyrmont and soak in the best of the city along the way.

The 5k option packs just as much punch, perfect for new runners, families, or anyone chasing a shorter goal. Starting on George Street, the course winds along the harbour, dips under the Bridge, and offers a stunning out-and-back stretch along Hickson Road before finishing with Opera House Views.

Not Just A Run- A Reason

Whether you’re chasing pace or just the post-run high, this event is about more than the finish line. It’s about community, challenge and doing good while you do it.

This year, participants can once again run for a cause, with Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) returning as the official charity partner. Every kilometre counts, with funds raised going towards groundbreaking cancer research.
