Event overview
The Parramatta Race Series Race 5 takes place on 16 November 2025 at George Kendall Riverside Park, Ermington. The event offers four distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10km
- 5km
- 2km Family Dash
All courses run adjacent to the Parramatta River on the Parramatta Valley Cycleway between George Kendall Riverside Park and Western Sydney University. The routes are described as flat.
