Course Description
Set within the expansive Burswood Park, the 5km course is a smooth, paved loop that winds through lush parkland and skirts the banks of the Swan River. Runners will enjoy a predominantly flat terrain with gentle undulations, making it ideal for personal bests and age‑graded performances. The route offers iconic views of the Perth skyline and the surrounding wetlands, providing both scenic variety and easy navigation. Well‑marked with clear signage, the course is suitable for all fitness levels, and the early morning start ensures cooler temperatures and a supportive crowd of fellow masters athletes and volunteers. Spectators can watch from the park’s open lawns, and water stations are provided to keep participants hydrated. The straightforward layout makes pacing easy, while the surrounding greenery provides a pleasant backdrop for runners of all ages.

The championships take place at Burswood Park, located on Resort Drive in the suburb of Burswood, Perth. The venue offers ample parking and is reachable by public transport, with nearby bus stops and train stations.

Bring a water bottle, but hydration needs are modest in the cool temperatures.
