Course Description
The 10km and 5km races start and finish at the main pavilion of Neil Hawkins Park, winding along the park’s sealed pathways that skirt the lake and coastal wetlands. The flat, well‑maintained road surface makes for a fast, beginner‑friendly course, while the gentle undulations near the lake add a subtle challenge for seasoned runners. Runners will pass through shady groves of native trees, enjoy views of the Indian Ocean horizon, and cross the iconic boardwalk that showcases the park’s vibrant birdlife. The looped layout means participants will see the start area multiple times, allowing easy access to water stations and a supportive crowd cheering from the park’s open lawns.
Getting There
Neil Hawkins Park is located in the northern Perth suburb of Joondalup. The venue is easily accessible by car and public transport, with nearby parking and bus routes serving the area. For precise directions, parking information and recommended arrival times, please visit the Masters Athletics WA website or the park’s official site. Arriving early will allow time for registration and a proper warm‑up.
Weather & What to Pack
May in Perth is autumn, with mild daytime highs around 22 °C and cooler evenings dropping to about 10 °C. Expect generally dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, though occasional light showers can occur. Dress in breathable layers – a short‑sleeve shirt topped with a light jacket or fleece works well. A hat and sunglasses protect against the sun, and stay hydrated with water at the aid stations. Check the forecast closer to race day for any changes.
