Shelley Loop Run 2026

Shelley Foreshore is the draw here, with the path sitting right on the Swan River foreshore through Shelley and Riverton. The Shelley Loop Run feels like a club morning where beginners, families, and pram runners can line up without fuss, then settle into a steady rhythm beside glistening waters and picturesque parklands. It is not a wild trail adventure; it is a clean, runnable riverside outing in one of the area’s beloved riverside locations. The course uses a relatively flat, paved pathway that hugs the river's edge, so you can actually run your race instead of constantly watching your footing. Expect scenic waterfront views, beautiful river vistas, patches of native vegetation, and a fair chance to spot local birdlife if you lift your eyes between efforts. The shorter fun run/walk option gives kids and first-timers a friendly way in, while quicker runners can use the flat surface to chase a tidy finish.
