Course Description
Set against the backdrop of the Swan River, the Matagarup Run starts and finishes at Burswood Park on Camfield Drive. The 12 km course follows a smooth, sealed road loop that hugs the riverfront, offering wide views of the Perth skyline and the park’s lush wetlands. Runners will enjoy mostly flat terrain with a few gentle undulations, making it fast yet enjoyable. The shorter 6 km route shares the same scenic sections, ideal for those seeking a quicker challenge. Both distances are fully timed with electronic chips, and the route is clearly marked throughout, ensuring a safe and organised experience for all participants.
Getting There
The race is held at Burswood Park, located on Camfield Drive in the Burswood suburb of Perth, just south of the CBD. Parking is available nearby and public transport serves the area. For exact parking locations, costs and public‑transport options, please refer to the official event website. Arriving early will give you time to check‑in and warm‑up.
Weather & What to Pack
September is spring in the Southern Hemisphere, and Perth enjoys mild, sunny conditions. Typical daytime highs are around 21 °C with overnight lows near 10 °C. Expect clear skies and a gentle breeze, so a light, breathable shirt and shorts are ideal for the race, while a thin jacket or long‑sleeve top can keep you comfortable at the early start. Bring a water bottle and a hat for sun protection, and stay hydrated throughout.
