Plan ahead for the Runaway Sydney Half Marathon

Runners hitting the road for this year’s Runaway Half Marathon on Sunday 5 May are encouraged to plan ahead and catch public transport with major roads closed in the area from the early morning.

More than 19,000 participants are expected to take part across the 10km and 21.1km half marathon routes taking in Sydney CBD, Circular Quay, The Rocks and Pyrmont.

Trains, buses and light rail services run regularly to the city to get you within walking distance of the course start area on the Cahill Expressway at Bridge Street and Macquarie Street near Circular Quay.

Due to planned trackwork, trains will not run to City Circle stations including Circular Quay which may affect how you travel to the start line.

You can find detailed travel advice here.

Major roads in the Sydney CBD and Pyrmont will begin closing from 4am with roads progressively reopening between 9.30am and 2pm.

Early morning car parking is limited, and access may be affected by road closures. Special event clearway parking restrictions will also be in effect on various roads, so check signage carefully as vehicles left in signposted clearway zones will be towed and a fee applies.
