Matilda Bay Run | 2027

The Matilda Bay Run is a running and walking event in Perth, situated by the Swan River at Paul Hasluck Reserve on Esplanade in Dalkeith. It provides 4km and 10km distances, suitable for a brief social activity, a moderate fitness run, or a competitive 10k. The West Australian Marathon Club organizes the event, which welcomes both members and non-members. The route crosses the Matilda Bay area, offering a riverfront path instead of city streets. Approximately 1000 people typically participate, mixing novice runners with club athletes and faster 10km competitors. The event includes aid stations, restrooms, refreshments, and parking. Previous 10km winners are Emily Kelly and Mike Lawson.
