A record-breaking 10,000 runners and walkers will begin the Sun Run presented by Bioglan at Dee Why Beach on Saturday, 1 February 2025.

This is the first time in the event’s history that so many people have signed up, with 3,000 more participants than last year. The popular event follows a scenic coastal route, starting at Dee Why and finishing at Manly Beach.
Participants can choose to tackle either a 10km or 7km course. The route takes them past stunning views of Curl Curl, Freshwater, and Queenscliff beaches. This is open to everyone, from serious runners to families who want to enjoy a healthy day out. It’s not just about fitness; it’s also about community spirit and giving back.

The event raises money for charities across Australia, and this year, they aim to raise $100,000. So far, $60,000 has already been donated.
This year’s event is officially the biggest one ever and sold out earlier than expected. Organisers encourage participants to check the event website for important information before race day. The Northern Beaches Council produces the Sun Run, with support from sponsors like Bioglan, The Athlete’s Foot, and Muscle Republic.
It’s a big community effort, with local businesses like Harbord Diggers and Harris Farm Markets also supporting. The Sun Run is happening on the same weekend as another big Manly event, the Cole Classic Ocean Swim.
