Race 5 of the Parramatta Race Series takes place in November in Ermington, New South Wales. Participants can choose from a half marathon, 10k, 5k, or a 2k Family Dash. The event caters to various runners, from those aiming for a personal best to families seeking a relaxed, short run.
The routes follow the Parramatta Valley Cycleway beside the Parramatta River, stretching between George Kendall Riverside Park and Western Sydney University. All distances are flat, offering a good opportunity for personal bests in the longer races and an accessible option for newcomers in the shorter ones. As with other races in the series, finishers receive a themed medal, making Race 5 part of a collection rather than a standalone event.
