Event Details
Course Description
The course follows the picturesque Applecross shoreline, beginning and finishing at Tompkins Park. Runners enjoy a predominantly flat, paved route that hugs the riverbank, offering uninterrupted water views and gentle breezes. The 3 km loop is ideal for families and beginners, while the 7.5 km adds a few extra turns along the promenade. The 15 km distance extends further along the foreshore, incorporating a few gentle undulations but remains largely easy‑pace. Well‑marked and supported with bag‑drop at the start/finish, the run showcases the best of Perth’s riverside scenery.
Getting There
Tompkins Park is located in the suburb of Applecross, Perth. Parking and public‑transport options are provided by the City of Perth; please refer to the official event page for detailed directions, parking locations and recommended arrival times. Arriving early will give you plenty of time to collect your bib and warm‑up.

November is late spring in Western Australia, but typical long‑term averages for Applecross show a daytime high of around 4 °C and an overnight low near 0 °C.
