Event Details
Course Description
Ultra Perth’s 50 km course starts at the South Perth Foreshore and follows the riverbanks of the Swan and Canning Rivers, weaving through Bayswater, the Booroloo Bridge, Elizabeth Quay and the Narrows before looping back to finish with a skyline view of the city. The route is fully paved, flat and certified by AIMS, with a total elevation gain of 346 m for the 50 km distance. Runners enjoy uninterrupted footpaths, zero road crossings and five fully‑manned aid stations plus three additional hydration points offering water, sports drinks, fruit and snacks. The scenic riverfront setting provides stunning city vistas at every turn, making it a fast, rhythm‑friendly course for both elite athletes and beginners.

Ultra Perth is held at Sir James Mitchell Park in South Perth, directly on the Swan River foreshore. Participants check‑in at the Ultra Perth Village on the park grounds. For 50 km runners an optional $10 shuttle departs the Coode Street Jetty Carpark at 6:15 am to the Bayswater start line. Parking and public transport details are available on the official website – we recommend arriving early for check‑in.
