Blackmores Sydney Running Festival: Sept 19, 2010


My roommate, Layne Piper, and I participated in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival on Sept 19, 2010 this year. I ran the Half-Marathon while Layne did the Bridge Run. It was a really great experience and a wonderful chance to see all different areas of the beautiful city of Sydney. Beginning on the far side of the Bridge in North Sydney, running through Darling Harbour, and the central business district, through the Royal Botanic Gardens, Circular Quay, and finally ending in front of the Opera House.
The official course map that details the routes of the different events' lengths can be found here:
