Event Details
Course Description
Starting at Hinds Reserve, the Baigup Wetlands race follows a smooth, sealed path that loops around the protected wetland area. The 5km distance is a single loop, while the 10km route repeats the circuit, both staying flat and well‑marked. Runners and walkers enjoy views of native reeds, waterbirds and the tranquil creek that winds through the reserve. The terrain is mainly paved with occasional boardwalk sections, making it easy on joints. Clear signage at key points guides participants, and the start/finish area provides a shaded gathering spot for post‑race refreshments. The looped layout means you finish where you started, and the course’s gentle terrain is suitable for all fitness levels. Families can watch from the surrounding parkland, and the event’s relaxed atmosphere encourages socialising after the run.

For precise directions, parking options and public transport details, please consult the official Masters Athletics WA website. Arriving early is advised to allow time for registration and a warm‑up.
