Real Insurance Harbour 10 returns on 26th July and it’s already shaping up to be one of Sydney’s biggest run club moments of the year.

Expect crews from some of the city’s biggest run clubs, DJs, high-energy start lines and one of the best finish-line celebrations on the calendar, with the post-race party taking over Cruise Bar at Circular Quay.
