The partnership to create the Bondi to Manly Walk was officially announced in Sydney on the 25 November 2018. While parts of the route have always been around. The link up and route selection for was officially opened on the 8th of December 2019

A note on Bondi to Manly Ultra

Since the opening of the Bondi to Manly Walk, the Bondi to Manly Ultra began in 2022.

While the FKT Guidelines allow for supported FKTs to be set during races, there are a number of significant deviations and shortcuts such as at Point Piper, Darling Point, Kirribilli, Cremorne Point and North Head that means the Bondi to Manly Ultra cannot be counted as the Supported FKT. Please refer to the Bondi to Manly Ultra results page or the DUV Ultra Marathon Statistics webpage for the race records.

Hey FKT.

I will be attempting the Bondi to Manly Out-Back route, instead going from Manly to Bondi to Manly.

This is in conjunction with [Mo]re Than a Run which is unifying 140 running clubs across Australia to fundraise money for Movembers Mental Health Initiatives.

Stay tuned to hear how I fair! 

Setting off at 00:00 on 27/11/21
