The Sydney Half Marathon showcases the city's iconic waterfront, starting at the Opera House and finishing at Bondi Beach. The course winds through the historic CBD, along the scenic Harbour foreshore, and finishes with a dramatic coastal stretch offering spectacular Tasman Sea views. Mostly flat with gentle rolling hills through beachside suburbs, this urban course provides world-class scenery at every kilometre.
Sydney's winter conditions in July are mild and pleasant with cool mornings warming to comfortable afternoons. Occasional light rain is possible, but clear skies and gentle ocean breezes are common, making it ideal running weather.
