Masters Athletics WA Fathers Day Run

The Masters Athletics WA Fathers Day Run is a club race at Wireless Hill in Booragoon, south of Perth, offering 4km and 8km distances. It is part of Masters Athletics WA’s regular Sunday program of running, walking, and cross-country events for athletes aged 30 and over, with members and visitors competing together. The format is simple and low-cost: club members usually race free, non-members pay a small fee, and results use age-graded handicap times, allowing older runners to compete meaningfully across age groups. The route uses rolling ground through Wireless Hill Park, mixing sealed paths, park trails, native bushland, and open grassland. The 4km is one lap, while the 8km repeats the same loop, doubling the climbs and the views across Perth’s southern suburbs. The field feels more like a regular runners’ meet than a large event, and the Fathers’ Day Morning Tea afterward provides a club tradition beyond the finish line. Results are usually posted online within 24 hours.
