Road Closures
The organisers of the Lane Cove Fun Run thank all local residents for their patience, understanding and support during our community event.
Due to road closures, the organisers encourage participants to cycle, walk or scooter from Northwood, Riverview or Lane Cove.
Please respect the needs of the residents of Longueville and do not try to find a parking space in Longueville, particularly along William Edward Street which becomes blocked to two-way traffic if cars are parked in both directions.
Plenty of public parking is available at council car parks in Lane Cove shops and along Longueville Road north of River Road. From there, it is an easy downhill walk to the start of the race.
For the safety of runners, there will be full and partial road closures along the entire route of the 2km and 5km events.
We look forward to seeing you on the day, as ITC is a big fan of this event. Thank you to the Lane Cove Council for supporting this event.
