Sydney Runs Together. So Can You.
Join the boom. Get healthy. Be part of Australia’s biggest running festival.
There’s a movement sweeping through Sydney, and this time, it’s not just for the pros. It’s for families, first-timers, tiny trainers and weekend warriors. It’s for you.
Welcome to the TCS Sydney Mini Marathon, formerly known as the Blackmores Family Fun Run, it is the ultimate 5km run made for families. Whether you’re chasing a new PB, pushing a pram, or just out for a morning of fun and fitness, this is your chance to move, laugh, and connect – together.Why a 5km? Because It’s Made for Everyone.
Forget marathons that require months of training – the 5km is the sweet spot. It’s long enough to be an achievement but short enough that the whole family can take part.
Taking place on Saturday, 30 August, the TCS Sydney Mini Marathon is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. It’s low-pressure, high-energy, and built around fun. And this year’s course? Absolutely iconic. A brand-new route winding through Sydney’s heart, finishing in full glory at the steps of the Sydney Opera House.Health Benefits, Without the Hassle
A family that runs together, thrives together. Just 5km of walking or running can:
- Boost heart health and mood
- Improve sleep and reduce stress
- Kickstart active habits that stick for life
- Give kids a confidence boost and sense of achievement
This isn’t just exercise, it’s a life lesson in movement, motivation and momentum. And when the whole family is doing it together? That’s when the magic happens.It’s More Than a Run, It’s a Day Out
From live music and vibrant crowds to the buzz of a city alive with movement, this is more than a run. It’s an experience. It’s a festival. It’s a reason to step away from screens and schedules, and step into something unforgettable.
- Bond as a family: Shared challenges bring us closer. Cheering each other on, crossing the finish line hand-in-hand – those are memories that last.
- Social fun: Join your school, daycare, club team, or rally your neighbourhood crew and make it a community celebration.
- Inspire your kids: The thrill of crossing the same finish line as some of the world’s best athletes – no screen can match that.
