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 Carine event takes place at Carine Regional Open Space, a popular venue for Masters Athletics WA's Sunday morning runs. The course features a mixture of sealed paths and trail sections through the open parkland, with the Beach Road location providing easy access and ample parking. Runners tackle multiple distance options ranging from 3.35km to 10km, all based on an age-graded handicap system that levels the playing field across all age groups. The flat, fast terrain makes this an ideal winter venue for achieving personal bests. The scenic parkland setting offers a welcoming atmosphere for runners aged 30 and over, with dedicated walking distances also available for those preferring a more leisurely pace.
Quick Facts
Getting There
Carine Regional Open Space is located on Beach Road in Carine, approximately 15km north of Perth CBD. Free parking is available at the venue. By car, take Marmion Avenue or West Coast Highway and turn onto Beach Road. Public transport users can catch Transperth buses along Marmion Avenue, with a short walk to the venue. Arrive by 6:45am to allow time for registration at the visitor table (exact cash required for on-the-day entries) and warm-up before the 7:00am start.
Weather & What to Pack
June in Perth brings mild winter conditions with average morning temperatures between 8-15°C. Expect crisp starts with occasional light rain and breezy conditions, though Perth winters are generally dry compared to eastern states. The 7:00am start time means running in cooler temperatures - ideal for faster times. Dress in layers you can remove as you warm up, and consider a light windproof jacket. While humidity is low, hydration remains important. Sunrise is around 7:15am in mid-June, so you'll start in twilight conditions with brightening skies throughout the run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a member to participate?
No, visitors are welcome. MAWA members run for free, while visitors pay $7 if pre-registered online or $10 for entry on the day. Membership ($60 metro, $50 country) is recommended if you plan to attend regularly.
How does the age-graded handicap system work?
Results are calculated using age-graded handicap times, which adjust your finish time based on your age and gender. This means a 55-year-old can compete fairly against a 35-year-old, making every race competitive regardless of your age.
What distances can I choose from?
The Carine event typically offers 10km, 6.7km, and 3.35km running distances, plus walking options. You can choose your distance on the day based on how you're feeling. Check the Sunday programme for confirmed distances.
Can I register on the day?
Yes, register at the visitor table with exact cash ($10). However, pre-registering online saves $3 and speeds up race day logistics. The registration link is available on the MAWA website sidebar.
What should I bring?
Bring running shoes suitable for road/path surfaces, weather-appropriate clothing, water bottle, and exact cash if registering on the day. A warm layer for after the run is recommended in June's cooler conditions.
