Hi, back into running in some shape or form after birth of #2.

Are there any regular timed runs / club runs or races of around the 5-10km distance in centennial park or close-by?

When I'm there on weekends I often see groups or races on I just can't seem to see any info on these events online. I'm just looking for a few events or regular weekend pack to get me back out there...

Thanks in advance all, promise I'll not bring the pram this time ha!

Your best bet will be to contact Sean Williams from Sweat.

He has regular training groups in Centennial Park.

In addition Randwick Botany Harriers have a series of Winter Races in and around Centennial and again Sean can give you details about these runs.

I believe that if take a search though recent threads you will see something about Park Run that have set up CP as their Sydney home, free timed races, I am not sure how often the runs are though.

I run in Centennial Park regularly on Sat and Sundays, in a group, and I don't recall seeing any races.  You may have seen training groups doing time trials and training sessions, with adults and kids (or both).

Best bet is to join Randwick Botany Harriers, or look on their website.  As Hills Aths said, they have a lot of winter races, esp at nearby parks (Mutch and Sydney Parks).  They also put teams in various age categories in cross country relays, road relays, team events, track distance relays etc.  That's even more fun.
