Bare Creek Trail Run

6KM SPOTLIGHT
The 6km is the perfect all-rounder at Bare Creek. If you're new to trail running, it’s welcoming, scenic, and achievable—with just enough challenge to make it feel rewarding. You’ll enjoy the gentle start along Cascades Trail, the iconic creek crossing, and that final climb that leaves you buzzing at the finish.

And if you’re a fast junior runner, this is where you can really push the pace on the flatter sections.

Whether you’re here for fun or to test your speed, the 6km is your gateway to the Bare Creek experience. Ready to give it a go?

😊 Bare Creek isn't just about the trails.

It's the families, the run crews, the familiar faces, the creek crossings, the finish-line smiles, and the feeling of being part of something people come back to year after year.

For plenty of Creekers, it's become an annual tradition.

💦Wet feet. No regrets.

If you've run Bare Creek before, you'll know exactly what we're talking about.

If you haven't, consider this your warning: there's a good chance you'll finish with wet shoes, muddy legs and a big grin on your face.

The Bare Creek Trail Run isn't about perfectly groomed paths and pristine white shoes. It's about getting out on the trails, crossing creeks, tackling a few hills and enjoying a great morning with hundreds of like-minded runners.

It's all part of what makes Bare Creek Sydney's Friendliest Trail Run.

Forecast’s looking good (touch wood, cross fingers, sacrifice a gel packet).

We’ll take a few sprinkles early in the week to settle the dust, and sunshine by Sunday for perfect Bare Creek running conditions.

Bring your smiles, your trail legs, and maybe your lucky charm — it’s almost go time! 💪🍉🌿
