Swimrun Australia: Sydney North
Swimrun Australia: Sydney North is a point-to-point swimrun along Sydney’s North Harbour, running from Clontarf Reserve to Manly Beach. The course links coastal national park trails, beaches, harbour swims, and reserve paths, with sections that alternate between running and open-water swimming.
The event offers two set distances:

Key course locations include Clontarf Reserve, Dobroyd Head, Forty Baskets Beach, Manly Wharf, Little Manly, North Head, Shelly Beach, and Manly Beach. Terrain varies from calm harbour starts and protected aquatic reserve swims to rugged national park trails, coastal paths, and soft sand finishes. The event provides on-course nutrition, free on-course and finish-line photos, live tracking, and safety support, and is Aus Tri-endorsed.
The description of the route notes climbs, trail segments, double-back swims, and sections that move participants from sand to swim and from road to quieter trails before a coastal finish at Queenscliff. Distances are offered for solo entrants and teams, with age minimums specified for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
