Sydney 10

Sydney Olympic Park provides this race with a distinct big-stadium atmosphere, as the course circles the site of the 2000 Olympics instead of venturing into nondescript streets. The Sydney 10 is designed for runners aiming for a straightforward, honest performance: it is one of the country's "flattest, fastest" races, featuring an AIMS-certified course and sufficient organization to make a personal best attempt seem attainable. The running should feel swift and direct, the type of course where you establish your pace early and aim to maintain your rhythm. It attracts dedicated runners, wheelchair athletes, casual runners, and families, thus the morning combines race-day concentration with a more relaxed community spirit. The most distinctive feature is the "Unique Finish Line Experience": participants conclude their race on the finish line at "Australia’s Premier Athletics facility," a rather gratifying location to conclude your timed effort.
