Get your running shoes on and start training for the return of the Balmoral Burn.
After a two-year absence due to Covid restrictions, the annual Charity Run, The Balmoral Burn” up Awaba Street is on again this year on the 29th May….and you do not have to venture far from The Oriana for the start of the race.
The event raises money for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation which provides health services for children, mainly by buying essential and life-saving medical equipment for Neonatal Units and Paediatric Wards across Australia.
The 420 metre (1,378ft) hill run, on one of the steepest streets in Sydney, is a challenge for the fit but you do not need to be an elite athlete to enjoy the day….you can walk, hop or crawl if you wish, or wear funny outfits
and …. you do not have to run all the way to the top!
The Balmoral Burn is designed as a fun family day with races for children, parents with prams, disabled athletes, races with pets, school and corporate teams etc as well as those serious runners determined to win “the Crown of the Hill”.
Why not book your stay at The Oriana during May?
Even if you are not a serious athlete and do wish to participate there is still plenty to enjoy. Locals and well wishes line the street to cheer on the athletes or you need only to watch the progress of each race on the big screens erected on the beach reserve just along from The Oriana….and let us not forget too that there is entertainment on a specially erected stage by the beach. Something for everyone.
