KR10K: Mondays, 10km

When: Monday evenings at 6.30pm (for a 6.40pm departure)

Where: Meet at the bottom of the Harbour Bridge stairs (see below).

Level: KR10K is an intermediate level run. If you are a beginner, we recommend getting comfortable running the KR Classic before you attempt KR10K.

Known as KR10K, the Monday Night 10 km run is an ideal training run. In early 2017, Kirribilli Runners added this longer workout to their regular routine, which before then consisted only of the KR Classic.

The route is essentially an ‘out and back’ to Waterman’s Cove, Barangaroo. However, to keep it interesting, we have made homeward journey different to the outbound journey. It might seem a little complicated at first, but once you’ve completed the circuit a few times, we’re sure you won’t lose your way.

Here are our detailed directions:
