Event overview
The Parklands Running Festival takes place on 14 June 2026 at Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands, Abbotsbury, NSW. The event offers multiple distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
All finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways and a finisher certificate. Race timing for all distances is chip timing provided by Multisport Australia. The half marathon has a four-hour cut off time. A photographer will capture images on course.
Course, entry and logistics
The course runs through a nature-filled area on paved footpaths and roads and includes several hills. The first and last 200 m of the course are on grass. Public transport is not available early on the event morning, so the event is described as reachable by car; there are large car parks on the east and west sides of Lizard Log and a grass overflow car park that may require 4WD depending on weather. Race bibs are printed three weeks before the event and posted two weeks before; to have a name on the bib, registration should be completed at least three weeks before the race. The 2 km Family Dash allows an accompanying adult for an additional fee; the accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a medal. Volunteers are offered benefits such as free entry to a future race (up to $60), free morning coffee and a post-event breakfast. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
