KR Classic: Thursdays, 6km

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

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

Level: Good for beginners to advanced runners.

Runners from around Sydney have gathered to participate in this classic Thursday-night run since at least late 2006. Afterwards, we gather at the Kirribilli Hotel, for a few drinks, and then invite all to migrate to Pizzeria Rio (Kirribilli) for pizza dinner at a discounted price. Runners of all fitness levels love this scenic trip around the harbour—and even elite runners will find a challenge in the Cahill hill.

• From the north side of the Harbour Bridge run south.
• Run up the stairs at the end of the Bridge, and follow the path down and along the Cahill expressway.
• Circle around “the tombstones” and turn right onto the path along the perimeter of the parkland  (just before Macquarie Street)
• Follow the path to the end of Bennelong Point and down the stairs toward the Opera House.
• Run around the Opera House, from right to left, in anticlockwise direction.
• Continue past the Opera House entry fountain and onto Macquarie street.
• Retrace your steps to the finish: up the Cahill express way and north across the Bridge!

Thursday evenings, 6.30pm, at the steps leading up to the Harbour Bridge pedestrian path, Milsons Point.
