Sydney 5km Fun Runs

The 5km is the easiest way into Sydney's running scene - and with free, timed parkruns held every Saturday at dozens of harbour, beach and park locations, you're never far from one. Add in charity fun runs and the Sri Chinmoy series, and there's a 5k somewhere across the city most weekends.

Find upcoming Sydney 5km events below and filter by date or suburb. Ready for a bigger challenge? Step up to a 10km, or bring the family to a kids' run.
