South West Sydney Running Festival
The South West Sydney Running Festival is an inaugural running event held at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan in South West Sydney on Sunday 18 April 2027. The festival offers a range of timed and untimed distances that take participants through the garden's open spaces and natural scenery.
Event distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia, except the accompanying adult in the Family Dash who is not timed. All finishers receive a themed finisher's medal, a finisher's certificate, post-race snacks and sponsor giveaways. There is a cut-off time of 3.5 hours for the Half Marathon; there are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km or 10 km events.
The venue is most accessible by car early on the event morning. Large car parks are available on both the east and west sides of Lizard Log with additional grass overflow parking that may require 4WD depending on weather. Event bibs are printed three weeks before the event and posted two weeks out if requested. Course photos will be taken by an on-course photographer and published after the event. The event village includes registration, bib pick-up, bag drop and sponsor tents, and other outdoor activities are located nearby at Lizard Log in Western Sydney Parklands.
