Course Description
Runners will start at Jeff Joseph Reserve on The Strand, looping along the picturesque Swan River foreshore before heading inland through quiet residential streets.

The 10.5km and 5km runs follow a shorter version of the same route, keeping the same scenic riverside ambience. Walk participants enjoy the same path at a relaxed pace, with clearly marked routes for the 10.5km and 5km distances. Spectators can line the riverbanks and park nearby, while volunteers ensure a safe, supportive atmosphere throughout the event.

Dress in layered clothing – a breathable base layer, a light jacket or fleece, and a hat or gloves for early morning chill. Stay hydrated, but you won’t need heavy cooling gear. Consider a waterproof shell in case of showers, and remember that the cooler temperatures can make muscles feel tighter, so a good warm‑up is essential.
