🌅 Shake it out with the Striders – TCS Sydney Marathon Edition! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
Race weekend is nearly here, and we’re kicking things off with a cruisy 7K shakeout run on Thursday 28 August 2025 to get those legs primed and nerves soothed before the big day.

📍 Leichhardt Skate Park
🕕 6:00 AM sharp
🌀 7K easy pace around the bay
🎉 All welcome – marathoners, cheer squads, curious cats, and carbo-loaders alike

✨ This isn’t just any run—it’s your chance to loosen up, swap race tips, and soak in the pre-marathon buzz with fellow Striders and Sydney runners. Whether it’s your first 42.2 or your fiftieth, we’ve got space for your story.

💡 Fun fact: Most marathon training plans peak at around 60–100 km per week, but recovery runs like this one are just as important. They help boost circulation, ease muscle tension, and keep the legs fresh for race day.

😬 Feeling the nerves? Totally normal. A shakeout run helps calm the mind, settle the butterflies, and remind you that your training has already done the heavy lifting. Now it’s just about showing up and soaking in the magic of marathon day.

Let’s stride into Sunday with confidence, community, and a little extra bounce in our step. #SydneyStriders #TCSSydneyMarathon #ShakeOutRun #7KWithTheCrew #RunTogether #MarathonReady
