Course Description
The 10,000‑metre race will be run on the standard 400‑metre synthetic track at the East Cannington Athletics Centre (ECAC). Competitors will complete 25 laps around the well‑maintained oval, which offers consistent footing and clear sightlines for athletes and spectators alike. As a handicap event, participants are seeded based on age and recent performances, ensuring a competitive finish. The venue’s surrounding parkland provides a pleasant backdrop, and the facility includes changing rooms and other amenities for participants. The track surface is rubberised, providing good grip and shock absorption, which helps reduce impact on joints during the repetitive laps. The stadium area is open, allowing for natural ventilation and a comfortable environment for both runners and supporters. The event atmosphere is friendly, with fellow masters athletes cheering each other on, making it an encouraging experience for all participants.
