The Finish Line Soirée

About

Join our year-long photo competition and capture the moments that made your 2026 running journey memorable—from epic landscapes and race-day highs to sunrise runs, trail adventures, and friendships along the way.

Photos will be exhibited at an end-of-year cocktail party, where attendees can wear their favourite 2026 race medal and vote for the winning images. All running clubs are welcome.

Inspired by the incredible photos shared on Strava that rarely get seen beyond a screen, this event is a chance to celebrate the year through the lens of Sydney's runners while supporting Achilles' mission to make running more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
