Bondi To Manly Ultra, Sydney south and north ...
October 2025
Around Farm Cove and Camp Cove...
The event website says Starting at the famous Bondi Pavilion, the run follows the 80km Bondi to Manly walking track around Sydney Harbour. Runners weave their way along spectacular cliff tops to Watsons Bay then hug the harbour foreshore through national parks, around iconic Australian landmarks and cultural sites, crossing the finish line at Manly Beach. It`s an 80km run that showcases the city’s unique allure – it`s a bustling city immersed in, and surrounded by nature. https://www.multisportaustralia.com.au/races/bondi-to-manly-ultra-2025 The solo winners took 6-7 hours to complete the gruelling run. Power to them!
I always try to take one photograph on my daily walks, so the quest to find new subjects is getting difficult. But I literally bumped into this event on Saturday 25 October 2025, with no camera other than my trusty, old, Samsung Galaxy S10, so was chuffed that I had found a `not everyday` something. Here`s some shots as the competitors passed me in the opposite direction. Enjoy these few humble pics. If any competitor sees this and would like a higher resolution version, just contact me.
