Every runner has one route they'd send a friend on. Tell us about yours and we'll turn it into a full route guide — map, photo stops, local tips and a free GPX pack — so other runners can follow it too.

Show the city as you see it
Your photos, photo stops and the little details you've learned along the way are what turn a line on a map into a run worth doing.

What we're looking for
- Runs anywhere in Sydney and the surrounding coast, bush or harbour
- A clear start and finish, and a rough distance
- Three to ten of your own photos along the route
- The local knowledge that makes it work: water, toilets, transport, parking, coffee
- Anything that makes the run memorable — a view, a climb, a sunrise, a swim spot
- Honest notes on surfaces, traffic crossings and anything tricky to navigate
Don't worry about polish. We'll write and edit the route guide — we just need your route and what you know about it.
