About the race
The Cooks River Fun Run is a community running event held at Freshwater Park in Strathfield, NSW. Runners follow a flat course along the Bay to Bay Cycleway adjacent to the Cooks River. The event offers multiple distances to accommodate families and solo participants.
Available distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
All finishers receive a themed finisher medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher certificate. All distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. The 5 km has a one-hour cut-off and the 10 km has a 1 hour 45 minute cut-off. The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at children; an accompanying adult may run with a child for an additional fee but that adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher medal.
Event logistics note that the road crossing at Morgan Place will be closed and managed by accredited traffic controllers. Parking is available on nearby streets and the closest bus stop on Ada Avenue is about 200 m from Freshwater Park. A photographer will be on course and photos will be posted after the race. Participants should be aware there may be other pedestrians, cyclists, and dogs on the paths. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
