3 Valleys Runningworks Marathon 2026

Bickley Valley provides the setting: native bushland, fire trails, and abundant single track originating from Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp. The 3 Valleys Runningworks Marathon is described as “Perth's most technical and scenic trail running experience,” fitting for a race emphasizing rough footing, sustained climbing, and trail-specific fitness over road speed. The revised route guides runners through a technical trail featuring single track, the Quad Cruncher, significant descents, and striking valley vistas from the Victoria Dam lookout. The shorter loop accommodates trail beginners, while longer options require substantial trail experience, suggesting the participants will be those who appreciate challenging terrain. The finish includes a fire pit and a communal atmosphere, ideal after a demanding morning in the hills.
