    The men’s title has been conducted on 21 occasions, while the women’s has been run 41 times, harking back to an era where women weren’t permitted to compete over 5000m.

    The meet records are held by Zach Facioni (7:51.61) and Rose Davies (9:00.17), both set in 2020.

    The event is conducted by Athletics NSW.
