Event Details
About This Event
Masters Athletics WA (MAWA) hosts weekly running and walking events across Perth for athletes aged 30 and over. Events are free for members ($5 for non-members) and feature multiple distances to suit all abilities. Start time is typically 7:30am (winter) or 8:00am (summer) with results based on age-graded handicap times.
Course Description
The Lake Monger Clockwise event takes runners around the scenic Lake Monger circuit in a clockwise direction, offering a flat, fast course ideal for personal bests. The 11km route completes multiple laps of this popular Perth running location, whilst shorter distances of 7.5km, 5km, and 4km provide options for all abilities. The course features smooth sealed paths with minimal elevation change, making it accessible for runners and walkers alike. Lake Monger's tree-lined pathways provide some shade during warmer months, and the lakeside setting offers beautiful water views throughout. The venue at Dodd Street Reserve provides convenient facilities and ample space for warm-up and post-race recovery.
Quick Facts
Getting There
Lake Monger is easily accessed via Dodd Street, Glendalough, approximately 5km northwest of Perth CBD. Street parking is available around the lake reserve, particularly along Dodd Street and surrounding residential streets. The venue is well-served by public transport with bus routes stopping on Loftus Street nearby. For early morning events, parking is typically plentiful. Arrive 15-20 minutes before the 7:00 AM start time to register, warm up, and familiarise yourself with the course direction.
Weather & What to Pack
March in Perth offers pleasant early autumn conditions with morning temperatures typically ranging from 15-20°C at the 7:00 AM start time, warming to 25-28°C by mid-morning. Expect mostly clear skies with low humidity and minimal rainfall. The early start time avoids the day's heat, but sun protection is still essential as Perth enjoys strong UV even in autumn. Wear light, breathable running gear and bring sunscreen and a hat. Hydration is important - whilst the weather is mild, carry water for longer distances or plan your strategy around drink stations.
