Athletics NSW runs the Sydney 10 at Sydney Olympic Park, and the whole thing is built around one idea: a fast 10km. The 2026 edition was held on Sunday 17 May. Runners start on Dawn Fraser Avenue outside Accor Stadium, loop the Olympic precinct past the cauldron, and finish on the track at the Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre.
The 10km course is World Athletics certified (measured to Competition Rule 31.21, certificate current to 2027) and the organiser also lists it as AIMS certified, so times stand for rankings and records. That matters more here than at most fun runs, because this is where the state's club runners come to chase a number. Luke Hince won in 29:10 in 2026 and Kate Spencer led the women in 33:26. A year earlier Aidan Velten took it in 29:34, with Paralympic champion Michael Roeger third.
Three distances are offered: 10km, 5km and 2.5km, priced at $45, $30 and $20 in 2026. The 10km carries a minimum age of 12 and sets off in seeded waves (sub-40, 40 to 50, then 50-plus), after the wheelchair race opens the morning at 6.45am. The 2.5km family fun run closes proceedings around 10am.
The NSW Road Championships are decided inside the same program, with championship waves run alongside the open races, so state titles and a relaxed Sunday-morning 2.5km share a finish line. Across the five races in 2026, roughly 2,000 people finished, 1,392 of them in the 10km.
Get there by train to Olympic Park station, or park at P2 (validation is available after the race). Entry is through Race Roster, with a discount for Athletics NSW members and a cut-off a few days out for state championship eligibility. As of August 2026 the 2027 date had not been announced.
Luke Hince won the 2026 Sydney 10 in 29:10 on Sunday 17 May, ahead of Ed Goddard and Jordan Skelly. Kate Spencer was first woman in 33:26. The 10km drew 1,392 finishers.
