Parklands Running Festival

The Parklands Running Festival, held at Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands, Abbotsbury, is a community-focused event featuring a nature-filled, hilly course on paved footpaths and roads. Scheduled for June 14, 2026, it offers race distances including a Half Marathon, 10km, 5km, and a 2km Family Dash designed to encourage family participation. The course challenges runners with several tough hills, including the notable "heartbreak hill," providing an engaging experience for both seasoned athletes and beginners.

All finishers receive themed medals, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and certificates. The event emphasizes safety with chip timing and awareness of other park users. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
