A record breaking 10,000 participants signed up to take part in this year’s Sun Run presented by Bioglan on one of the most picturesque courses in the country.
From Dee Why to Manly Beach, participants completed either the 10km or 7km course along the coast taking in views of Curl Curl, Freshwater and Queenscliff beaches along the way.
The event marks the first major running event of the year and has surpassed expectations, with last year’s impressive turnout of 7,000 participants being exceeded with a 40% increase of a total of 10,000 entrants in 2025.
If you blinked, you would have missed the winners who crossed the finish line in a staggering 30:06 minutes for the 10km course and 26:18 for the 7km course.
