Upcoming Sydney Events


2020 Training 
​Achilles training is back meeting at 8am at the Art Gallery.
The New South Wales government is now allowing groups of up to 20 to gather for outside sporting activity.
This will make meeting on Sunday morning a bit easier.

Achilles Events Calendar 2020
Many of the events listed below have been cancelled or postponed. Achilles will not be entering teams in any event until the present government restrictions are lifted. A new Events Calendar will be posted when community events are about to resume. Other Sydney and NSW runs can be found at Running Calendar.com.au
parkrun: Weekly Free 5km Timed Runs
Achilles encourages members to support the parkrun 5K events that are held throughout Sydney every weekend. If you wish to find a guide [or be a guide] at any of these events, Achilles is happy to help.
Note: Every parkrun is superbly managed, friendly and accessible. However, some are more difficult than others. The degree of difficulty can be altered by characteristics such as hills, broken ground, posts and course congestion. We encourage guides to be familiar with the proposed course in order that any hazards or difficulties are well understood beforehand.
