Event Details
Course Description
The Peninsula Twilight Run offers a scenic evening course starting and finishing at the WAMC Clubrooms at Burswood Water Sports Centre. Set along the picturesque Swan River foreshore, runners enjoy a flat, fast course perfect for chasing personal bests as the sun sets over Perth. The out-and-back route follows sealed paths with excellent river views, taking advantage of the cooler twilight temperatures. The 10km distance provides a solid midweek challenge, while the 5km option welcomes runners of all abilities. Both courses benefit from professional chip timing and well-marked routes, with the riverside location offering natural beauty and a refreshing evening breeze. Post-race refreshments are provided at the clubrooms, making this a welcoming community event in Perth's running calendar.
Getting There
The race starts at Burswood Water Sports Centre, 1 Camfield Drive, Burswood. Free parking is available at the venue and surrounding areas. By public transport, take the train to Burswood Station (approximately 800m walk) or bus routes servicing the Burswood Peninsula. The venue is easily accessible from both the city and eastern suburbs via the Graham Farmer Freeway. Arrive by 4:30 PM to allow time for bib collection (non-members) and warm-up.
Weather & What to Pack
Early February in Perth typically brings warm to hot conditions, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 32°C. The 5:00 PM twilight start is strategically timed to avoid the afternoon heat, with temperatures cooling as the race progresses. Expect mostly sunny skies with low humidity and a refreshing sea breeze near the river. Wear light, breathable running gear and a cap for sun protection. Hydrate well before the race and take advantage of water stations on course. Sunscreen is essential for exposed skin during the evening light.
