Full Parklands Running Festival Half Marathon Route Breakdown
The Parklands Running Festival course winds through the lush Western Sydney Parklands, starting and finishing at Lizard Log's amphitheatre. Runners will tackle a mix of paved footpaths and quiet roads, with a few rolling hills that add a challenging edge to every distance. The first and last 200 m are set on grass, offering a pleasant transition from the park’s natural scenery to the road sections. The 10 km and Half Marathon routes feature undulating terrain that tests endurance, while the 5 km provides a shorter yet still hilly experience. The 2 km Family Dash is a flat, family‑friendly loop ideal for kids and beginners. Spectators will enjoy views of native bushland, open fields, and the iconic Lizard Log backdrop.

Training Strategy for Parklands Running Festival Half Marathon
10-14 weeks is a solid window for a first half marathon; 8-10 weeks is enough if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Build your long run up gradually rather than jumping straight to race distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 7-10 days while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at the start line fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
Half Marathon Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
Fluid at the on-course stations is usually enough; some runners take a single gel around the hour mark.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
