Kamay parkrun
Kamay parkrun takes place along the foreshore of Kamay Botany Bay National Park at La Perouse, one of Sydney's most historically significant coastal locations. The flat paved path beside the bay delivers a peaceful and scenic run far from the bustle of the inner city. This event draws a dedicated community of runners from Sydney's south-east suburbs.
