1. Spit to Manly

This is the quintessential Sydney walk. Located in the urban setting of north shore suburbs the easy 10Km trail is ideal if you want a less demanding run. The trail is amazing: pockets of trees with gnarled branch limbs, dramatic cliffs, breathtaking coast views and the occasional trail animal life.

2. La Perouse to Cape Banks

Fancy a run that mixes some Australian history with stunning coastal views? Check out La Perouse. Named after the French navigator Jean-François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse (1741–88), who landed on the northern shore of Botany Bay west of Bare Island on 26 January 1788. It is one of only a handful of Sydney locations with a French name.

The trail winds its way through some amazing locations where you can grab plenty of amazing photos for the gram. Check it out and let us know what you discover via #trail43

3. Lane Cove

Nestled in the heart of Sydney is a little gem called the Lane Cove National Park. Its an amazing national park set right in the heart of the inner-city around Lane Cove.

The urban location also makes this a super accessible run. You can start from the Thornleigh train station and then end up at in Macquarie Park station or do reverse.
