Sydneysiders will have the chance to run down Australia’s newest international runway before it welcomes its first passengers and planes in October 2026. This once-in-a-lifetime Runway Run/Walk event will turn the nearly-complete airport into a historic racecourse, with distances from a half-marathon to 14-kilometre, seven-kilometre and four-kilometre events.

They could've instead free up a lot of space at the existing airports by finally building that high speed rail line between Melbourne and Sydney that they've been talking about for 30 years.
