The annual Westlink M7 Blacktown Running Festival is now
open for registrations for this year’s event.
Families, devoted marathon runners, joggers, walkers, kids
and adults are all encouraged to get involved in the July
28th event.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said the annual run
is a unique opportunity to combine fun and fitness.
“This is an excellent opportunity for the City of Blacktown to
come together and get active. There is a race for everyone,
from professional athletes to families and kids just having a
go!” Mayor Bali said.
“Blacktown Running Festival is unique in that it is a traffic
free circuit despite being held on roadways,” Mayor Bali said.
This year marks the 14th year of Westlink M7 and Blacktown
City Council’s partnership.
The Marathon, half Marathon, 10km and 5km events will be
run on the Westlink M7 Shared Pathway and are certified by
IAAF/AIMS (Association of International Marathons and
Distance Races).
A 2km Kids Marathon will also be run on the Blacktown
International Sportspark running track.
Mayor Bali said: “A unique aspect of Blacktown’s Running
Festival is that the course starts and finishes at Blacktown
International Sportspark making it very convenient for
families who wish to enter different races.
“There are also prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place runners in all
events.”
Don’t miss out on this year’s Blacktown Running Festival.
Online registrations close at 5 pm on Saturday 27th July. On
