Spectators Guide

CommBank Stadium opens to all runners, friends, family, and supporters at 5:30am. Entry is free for everyone, with toilets, food, coffee, and beverages including alcoholic drinks all available inside the stadium.

Watch your runner start just outside CommBank Stadium, then head back inside to claim your spot for the finish. The Parramatta Half Marathon will be live streamed on the big screens throughout the morning

Parramatta Park is the perfect spectator base for race day. Watch the start of the race just outside CommBank Stadium, then take a short 10 minute walk of approximately 800 metres into the park to set up at MISC. Parramatta Park.

Runners pass this spot twice, at 1.71km and again at 18km, meaning you get two chances to cheer your runner on without moving an inch. Grab a coffee, soak up one of Sydney's most beautiful green spaces, and be ready to make some noise when they come through.

After the second pass, make your way back to CommBank Stadium to watch your runner cross the finish line inside CommBank Stadium.

The Parramatta CBD is one of the best places to be on race day if you want to see your runner multiple times without travelling far. The course weaves through the heart of the city twice, meaning a single well-chosen spot can give you two sightings before you make your way to the finish at CommBank Stadium. Three great spots to set up:

George Street, west of Marsden Street: Catch your runner at 5km and again at 14km. Plenty of cafes nearby to keep you going between passes.

Macquarie Street, west of Marsden Street: Runners come through at 4.8km and 14.2km, just moments apart from the George Street viewing point if you want to move between the two.

Market Street, next to Prince Alfred Square: A beautiful spot to cheer runners through at the 13km mark as they push through the back half of the race. This is where your encouragement counts most.
