Course Description

Both the 4 km and 12 km City to Surf courses start at 8:00 am and wind through Perth’s closed‑road streets, offering flat, easy‑to‑navigate terrain. Runners will pass iconic city landmarks and enjoy the fresh coastal breeze before finishing at the Cambridge Street precinct, where a carnival atmosphere awaits. Aid stations provide water, electrolytes and medical support, and the route is fully sealed, making it ideal for walkers, joggers and wheelchair users alike. The courses are designed for a fun, community‑focused experience rather than a competitive challenge.

Getting There

The event is based in Perth, WA. For detailed information on parking, shuttle services and public transport options, please visit the official website’s Transport & Parking page. Arrive early to allow time for bib collection and to enjoy the pre‑race festivities.
