North Beach to Bulli Run
The run from North Beach to Bulli along the Wollongong Bike Track/Path is about 23km long.
A GPS using the Nokia Sports Tracker software was used to plot the map below.
However we used the markers along the Bike Track/Path to determine our turn around point.
Started from North Beach, just next to the surf club and turned around on the bike path after Ruby’s Cafe but before Sandon Point. (The marker was just after crossing the bridge).
Bike Track from Wollongong to Thirroul
The Wollongong to Thirroul is a 15km bike track that follows the coast, starting from Belmore Basin (to the west of the Levendi cafe) to Thirroul.
It’s one of the best places for running and cycling in Wollongong.
