About the Event
Shake Out Run is a free community fun run hosted by Morning Miles, the weekly Sunday run club run by ili the studio, taking place a day earlier than usual on Saturday 8 August 2026 to align with the day before the City2Surf. The event is designed as a light, easy-pace "shake out" session for runners preparing for City2Surf, but it is open to everyone, regardless of fitness level or running experience.
What to Expect
The run starts and finishes at STILL Coffee House in Darlinghurst, Sydney, with participants meeting at 9:00am for a 4km social run at an easy, conversational pace. The route heads from STILL Coffee House out to Rushcutters Bay and back, giving runners a scenic, low-key loop through the inner-city and harbourside area. This isn't a timed race or a serious training session — it's a relaxed community run where the focus is on moving together, chatting along the way, and enjoying the morning.
After the run, the group heads back to STILL Coffee House for coffee, breakfast, and a chat, with music to keep the post-run vibe going. Runners also receive a free gel from Pure Nutrition and a free electrolyte drink (while stocks last), plus 10% off coffee and food at STILL after the run.
