Course Description
The Masters Athletics WA Club Cross Country Championships takes place at the scenic Jorgensen Park in Kalamunda, situated in Perth's eastern hills. This annual championship event features three distances—8km, 6km, and 4km—catering to competitors of varying abilities within the masters athletics community. The course winds through Jorgensen Park's natural bushland setting along Crescent Road, offering runners a mix of established park trails and gentle elevation changes characteristic of the Kalamunda foothills. Participants can expect well-marked courses with supportive volunteers at key points. The event forms part of MAWA's comprehensive winter road and cross country programme, providing age-graded results that ensure fair competition across all age groups from 30 years and above.
