Lake Gwelup Sports Centre hosts a family-friendly event focused on lap-based running on the footpaths around Lake Gwelup. The Cyril Norman Lake Gwelup Fun Run offers a club-morning atmosphere open to all, with members, non-members, beginners, parents, and children lining up without complication.
The running takes place on firm paths alongside the lake, allowing participants to find a rhythm, complete laps, and enjoy the scenery. It is a community run where the atmosphere is as important as performance, with families near the start and finish, club runners warming up, and new runners finding an accessible way to participate in race day.
