Event Details
Course Description
Set against the rolling hills of the Perth Hills, the 3 Valleys Marathon course winds through the native bush of Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp. Runners tackle technical single‑track trails with steep ascents, fast descents and rugged terrain, delivering a true trail‑running challenge. Along the route, you’ll pass picturesque eucalyptus groves, open ridgelines with sweeping views over the Swan Valley, and occasional creek crossings that add variety to the experience. The 10 km and Half Marathon follow the same scenic sections but with shorter loops, while the Marathon Team Relay splits the full distance among 2‑4 teammates. All participants start together at 7 am and must finish within the 7‑hour cut‑off, earning a finisher’s medal for completing the course.
