Fun Runs/Half-marathons in Sydney 2011?

ThoughtsOfBelle

So, I'm currently trying to put together a walking/jogging/(if I'm lucky, running) calendar for myself for 2011, as I really want to start doing more Fun Runs/Half-Marathons etc. The beauty with the fun run idea is I'll have to be DOUBLY motivated as not only will i be walking for myself, but for my chosen charity, Beyond Blue.

So far, I've got the following locked down (only one is currently open for registration, so i signed up last night):

Can anyone else from the area suggest any that I have missed? I'm mainly looking around Northern Beaches/City Central/North Shore area - but as I'm new at this, could only think of a few to google. I'm a bit early, too, so it was hard to find too much on other fitness blogs etc.

anyway - any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Also, if you're not from Sydney, or even Australia, what are your favourite exercise related events to do, and why? How many times have you done them in the past?

:happy:

Hi, just saw your post and it looks awesome! Have you checked out this site? I used to look through it as I tried a few short course triathlons previously...

Have you ever thought about doing triathlons? They're very good for all-round fitness
