Join Sydney Frontrunners for a 5km shakeout run or walk ahead of the Sydney Marathon! Shake out the nerves, meet other runners tackling race day, and stick around for a coffee afterwards to top off the pre-race vibes. Get to know fellow Frontrunners from Sydney and across the globe.

All paces welcome - this one's about easing into race weekend together, not testing your legs.

Free for all to attend. Runners, spectators and visitors alike are welcome.
