Course Description
The Piney Lakes race follows a smooth, paved circuit centred on Murdoch Drive in the Winthrop suburb of Perth. Runners will navigate a flat, fast‑flowing road that loops past the tranquil Piney Lakes wetlands, offering glimpses of native flora and water‑edge scenery. The 8 km distance consists of two laps, while the 4 km is a single lap, both featuring wide shoulders and well‑marked turns. The course is largely traffic‑free, making it ideal for steady pacing and personal bests. Expect a gentle elevation profile with a few short, gentle rises that add a subtle challenge without compromising the overall easy‑going nature of the run.
