Road Closures & Traffic Management:

• Traffic controllers will also be stationed in the Bobbin Head area to assist with the flow of traffic, particularly around the carpark, to minimize congestion and ensure smooth access for event participants and local traffic.
• Runners will be along the side of the road at the below locations, where drivers are advised to be cautious and give runners plenty of space:
  • Timbarra Rd, St Ives Chase
  • Memorial Rd/Sphinx Rd, North Turramurra
  • Sir Frederick Scherger Dr (The Landings), North Turramurra
  • Grosvenor St, North Wahroonga

  Runners on road warning signs will be deployed in these areas.

Public Transport:

• No changes to public transport routes will occur. Regular bus and train services will remain unaffected.

• In addition, a free shuttle bus will be provided between Apple Tree Bay and Bobbin Head which is available for use by the general public as parking areas will be busy.

Event Access and Parking:

• Participants will access the event either by private car or shuttle bus departing from Turramurra Train Station.

• Parking will be available at Bobbin Head and Apple Tree bay, with traffic management in place to minimise congestion.

Safety Measures:

• Traffic management will be in place, and traffic controllers, course marshals or event staff will be present to assist with road crossings and general traffic and pedestrian management.

Impact on Local Businesses & Residents:

• While no local businesses or residents will be directly impacted, the event will increase foot and vehicle traffic in the area, potentially causing congestion at peak times. Please plan accordingly and be mindful of additional activity in the vicinity, particularly in the Bobbin Head area.
