Running Races in New South Wales

6 distances, 369 races: that is the spread Verus has found in New South Wales so far, from 139 races at other distances, 60 half marathons, 58 10Ks, 44 5Ks, 35 ultra marathons and 33 marathons. Whatever you are training for, there is likely a start line here for it.

Racing here runs more or less year round — there is something on in 12 months of the twelve, with September the busiest. That makes New South Wales unusually easy to build a season around, because you are rarely more than a few weeks from a start line.

Terrain varies more than a single figure for New South Wales suggests. Of the 3 races here that publish an elevation figure, TCS Sydney Marathon is the flattest at 1,027ft of climb and Ultra-Trail Australia UTA100 the hilliest at 14,436ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.

On top of the races above, there are 123 parkruns in New South Wales every Saturday morning, at no cost to enter — for most people here, that is where running actually started.

Every race links through to its own page with entry details, the course, elevation where the organiser publishes it, and a pace calculator. Spotted a race in New South Wales that's missing? Suggest it and we'll research and add it.
