Event Details
Course Description
The race starts and finishes inside John Tonkin Reserve, a well‑maintained park in East Fremantle. Runners will follow a flat, paved loop that winds through the reserve’s tree‑lined paths and nearby quiet streets, offering pleasant views of the Swan River foreshore and the historic suburb. The 10 km route consists of multiple laps, while the 4 km is a shorter circuit, both providing a smooth surface ideal for steady pacing. With minimal elevation change and clear signage, the course is easy to navigate, making it a great choice for athletes of all ages and abilities looking to enjoy a relaxed yet rewarding run.
Getting There
The event is held at John Tonkin Reserve in the suburb of East Fremantle, about 13 km southwest of Perth’s CBD. For parking, public transport options and exact arrival recommendations, please visit the official Masters Athletics WA website. Arriving early will give you plenty of time to collect your bib and warm‑up.
