Course Description
Participants will start at the main carpark of Wireless Hill, then follow a well‑maintained sealed loop that circles the hill’s parkland. The 8km route takes runners on a longer circuit, while the 4km option offers a shorter loop, both featuring gentle inclines and mostly flat sections. Along the way you’ll pass the historic radio tower and enjoy views across the surrounding bushland and the Swan River horizon. The course is fully on road‑type surfaces, making it ideal for all levels of runners, and the early morning start ensures a cool, pleasant atmosphere. Finish lines are located at the same carpark, allowing easy access to refreshments and a post‑run stretch.
Getting There
The race is based at Wireless Hill in Booragoon, a suburb of Perth. The venue is easily reachable by car and public transport, with nearby bus services serving the area. For parking details, public transport options and precise directions, please refer to the official event website. Arrive early to allow time for registration and warm‑up.
