Quick Facts
Getting There
Burswood Park is located adjacent to the Crown Perth complex in the inner eastern suburbs. From the city, take the Graham Farmer Freeway east and exit at Burswood. Free parking is available throughout Burswood Park, with the assembly area typically near the Swan River foreshore. Alternatively, catch the train to Burswood Station (just 6 minutes from Perth Station) and walk 5 minutes to the park. Arrive by 6:30 AM to collect your race number, warm up, and attend the pre-race briefing.
Weather & What to Pack
Early June in Perth marks the beginning of winter, with crisp mornings perfect for racing. Expect temperatures between 8-12°C at the 7:00 AM start, warming to 16-18°C as the sun rises. You may encounter light drizzle or overcast conditions, though rain is typically intermittent. The riverside location can be breezy, adding a wind chill factor. Dress in layers with a long-sleeved top and lightweight jacket that you can shed if needed. The cooler conditions are ideal for distance running, minimising heat stress. Stay hydrated despite the mild temperatures.
