Course Description
The race takes place on a well‑maintained, paved circuit within Manning Park, Spearwood. Runners start on Azelia Road and follow a gentle loop that winds through the park’s open grasslands, shaded tree‑lined avenues and alongside the Swan River’s floodplain. The 4km course is a flat, fast route ideal for newcomers, while the 8km adds an extra lap, offering a modest endurance challenge without steep climbs. The course is fully road‑surface, making it easy on joints, and is marked with clear signage and marshals at key points. Spectators can enjoy the park’s native flora and the tranquil atmosphere, with plenty of space for families and supporters along the sidelines.
Getting There
The event is held at Azelia Road in Manning Park, Spearwood, a suburb of Perth. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival times, please refer to the official Masters Athletics WA website or contact the event organisers. Check the event page for any updates on road closures or recommended drop‑off points, and consider arriving early to allow time for registration and warm‑up.
Weather & What to Pack
July is winter in Western Australia, and Perth typically experiences daytime highs around 18 °C with overnight lows near 8 °C. Expect mild sunshine, low humidity and occasional light rain. Dress in layers – a breathable base layer, a light jacket or fleece, and a hat for sun protection. Warm‑up thoroughly and stay hydrated, as cooler temperatures can mask fluid loss. Bring a water bottle and consider a waterproof outer layer just in case of a brief shower.
