Course Description
The 4km course begins at the Perry Lakes Hockey Pavilion and follows a single, well‑marked loop around Alderbury Reserve. Runners travel on smooth, sealed asphalt pathways that circle the lake, offering flat terrain with only gentle undulations. The route passes under the pavilion’s canopy, skirts the water’s edge, and weaves through shaded parkland lined with mature trees, providing occasional respite from the sun. The circuit is fully signposted and includes a brief stretch on the pavilion’s driveway before re‑entering the park’s main path, making navigation easy for all participants. With a total distance of four kilometres, the course is short enough to be completed in under thirty minutes for most runners, yet scenic enough to keep you motivated from start to finish.
Getting There
The race takes place at Alderbury Reserve, next to the Perry Lakes Hockey Pavilion in Perth. The venue is accessible by car and public transport. For exact directions, parking and transport details, please visit the official MAWA website.
