Course Description
The 10 km and 5 km races start and finish at the community hall on Huntriss Road, Lake Gwelup. The flat, sealed route loops around the picturesque Gwelup Lake and follows quiet residential streets, offering smooth pavement and minimal elevation change. Runners will enjoy views of native wetlands, mature trees and the open parkland that surrounds the lake, with clear signage at each turn. The course includes a short stretch along the lakefront promenade, perfect for a relaxed pace or a quick sprint. With generous water stations at the halfway point and the finish line, the race is designed for both seasoned masters athletes and newcomers seeking a pleasant springtime run.
Getting There
The race starts at Huntriss Road in the Lake Gwelup area of Karrinyup, a suburb north of Perth. The venue is easily reachable by car and is close to public‑transport options serving the northern suburbs. For exact parking locations, bus routes and any road closures, please consult the official Masters Athletics WA website. Arrive with enough time to check‑in, warm‑up and locate the start area.
Weather & What to Pack
In November Perth enjoys a pleasant spring climate. Expect daytime highs of 18‑25 °C with mild breezes and occasional light showers. Humidity is moderate, and sunshine is common, so lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal. A light jacket or long‑sleeve shirt for early morning coolness, plus a hat and sunscreen, will keep you comfortable. Stay hydrated with water before the race, and you may want a small bottle for the start, especially if the morning is warm.
