About the HOKA Runaway Sydney Half Marathon
One of Australia's largest standalone half marathons turns central Sydney into a major race-day stage. The appeal is equal parts scale and setting: a deep recreational field, broad pace support, and a route built around unmistakable harbour and city landmarks.
Course
The city course starts on the Cahill Expressway and finishes in The Domain. It threads through central Sydney and past harbour landmarks, with turns and short rises that make controlled early pacing smarter than treating it as a perfectly flat time trial.
Race-day weather
Sydney mornings in May are often cool to mild, but clear skies can bring direct sun as the morning develops. Runners should be ready for a comfortable start followed by warmer exposed kilometres.
