We're excited to announce that Race 2 of the Parramatta Race Series will take place on Sunday, 12 July 2026, at our temporary location of Silverwater Park.

Taking in the beautiful surroundings of the Newington Armory along the Parramatta River between Silverwater Park and the Newington Nature Reserve, choose from a Half Marathon, 10 km, 5 km, or 2 km distance. All courses are flat and run adjacent to the Parramatta River – making it the perfect course for a personal best or marking the first race for beginners.
