The partnership to create the Bondi to Manly Walk was officially announced in Sydney on the 25 November 2018.

Note that the Bondi to Manly website has some faster times listed, but we only list what has been submitted to us.  Obviously the FKT should consider those times as well.

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
