On the Western Australian coast, the Perth Marathon is a road-running event with a big-city feel and a seaside edge. It is a "World Marathon Majors Qualifier," but the atmosphere is broader than just serious marathon chasing: the event offers "a distance for every taste," with options stretching from the main race down to Kids & Juniors courses.
Expect looped road courses through an urban setting. The longer races have enough elevation gain to challenge runners, while the shorter loops are more approachable, all finishing within the same city-and-sea race atmosphere. It is the kind of event where fast runners, first-timers, families, and juniors all share the same start-line energy.
