History
The "BONDIBarefoot" was first run in 2003 and has quickly developed into one of Australia's most unique running events. Run over 3 distances - , 10km, 4km, and the Barefoot bolt. The event attracted over 400 runners last year and continues to grow in popularity.

Parking
Bondi Beach provides metered parking in the Park Drive and ticketed parking in Queen Elizabeth Drive. However as these event days bring a lot of competitors and spectators it is recommended you catch public transport.

Public Transport
Bondi Beach provides great public transport options. There are a number of Bus Services (333, 365, 380, 381, L82), running every 10 mins to/from Bondi Junction from Circular Quay and Central Railway Station.  Bondi Junction Railway Station is located at the end of the Eastern Suburbs railway line with a regular service to Martin Place and Town Hall and Central Railway Stations.

Can I wear footwear in the race ?
Yes you can wear shoes or other footwear if you wish. You can even wear "flippers" if you think they will help.

Spectators
The promenade is the best place to view the run, it means you can also cheer the competitors as they start and finish which is very much appreciated!

Beach safety & first aid

The BONDIBarefoot is no exception, and we will have 3 aid stations spaced along the course with qualified Doctors on hand to assist as well as our experienced lifesavers.
