Starting at Hyde Park, one of Sydney’s oldest and most beautiful parks, this nine-kilometre guided run takes guests through the city’s iconic landmarks and scenic waterfront.
The route begins with a run to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair, a popular vantage point with breathtaking views of the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and Sydney Harbour. From there, guests continue on to the Sydney Opera House, where there is a short break to snap some photos and learn about the history of this world-famous cultural venue.
Next, the route continues through the historic Rocks district before tackling the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a spectacular feat of engineering that offers panoramic views of the city and harbour.
Guests will also visit Wendy’s Secret Garden, Luna Park, and Kiribilli House, the Sydney residence of the Prime Minister of Australia.
No run is complete without coffee, and so this tour stops for coffee at Kiribilli before catching the ferry back to Circular Quay, where the tour finishes.
