Sydney Trail Half Marathon - Winter Edition
The Sydney Trail Half Marathon (STHM) Winter Edition is a trail running event held over two days at Lake Parramatta Reserve. Located in the heart of Sydney, the reserve features a natural landscape characterized by eucalypt canopies, waterfront views, and a waterfall. The event is limited to a capacity of 450 runners per day.
The event follows a single-lap course through diverse terrain, including technical single tracks, waterfront trails, and fire trails. Participants navigate a route with a total elevation gain and loss of 386 meters. For safety, runners must cross several roads where marshals are stationed to assist. A strict four-hour time limit is in place for all participants to complete the distance.
The registration provides runners with a premium running singlet, free race photos, and a finishers medal. Post-race amenities include a bucket hat, a BBQ, and access to a cafe and a nearby swimming area. Bag drop facilities are available near the start and finish area.
Distances available at this event:
- 21 km
This is a cupless event, and participants are required to carry their own hydration vessels. Mandatory safety gear must be carried at all times, including a fully charged mobile phone, a compression bandage, and a minimum water capacity of 500ml. Aid stations are located at the 9.5 km and 14.5 km marks, providing water, energy drinks, fruit, and sweets.
Parking is available on the streets surrounding Lake Parramatta, as vehicle access is restricted within the reserve during the event. Bib collection occurs during the race week or on the morning of the event at the race site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
