Why this event?

Swim your way through Sydney’s most stunning harbour coastline

Swimrun Australia: Sydney North is a point-to-point coastal adventure from Clontarf Reserve to Manly Beach, combining ocean swims, short trail runs, and some of the most breathtaking views in the city. You’ll move through quiet National Park tracks, golden beaches, and crystal-clear harbour swims, finishing on the sand at iconic Manly.

Designed for adventurous swimmers, this course offers a fresh way to experience the ocean; from new angles, new terrain, and with a new sense of flow. The swims make up the heart of the journey, broken up by short, scenic run sections that are totally achievable.

What to expect:

  • Multiple harbour swims
  • Scenic, runnable trails and beach stretches
  • A natural rhythm that keeps things flowing
  • Salt on your skin and a smile on your face

If you’re a swimmer looking for something more, this is it.

Shoes on, swim on. This one’s just the right amount of wild.
