Event Details
Course Description
The race starts at Lake Joondalup Park, winding around the tranquil lake and through the surrounding parkland. The course follows a well‑maintained shared path used by walkers, cyclists and other runners, offering flat to gently rolling terrain and plenty of shade from native trees. Expect clear signage, lake‑front views, and occasional bridges that add a touch of variety. Both distances are fully chip‑timed, and the route is designed to keep runners moving safely while enjoying the natural beauty of Wanneroo’s most popular outdoor space. The finish line is located near the park’s main pavilion, where participants can celebrate their effort with fellow runners.
Getting There
The festival is held at Lake Joondalup Park in the northern Perth suburb of Wanneroo. Parking and public‑transport options are not detailed on the event page, so we recommend checking the official website or contacting the organisers for the latest information. Arrive with plenty of time to collect your bib and warm up before the early start.
