This Masters Athletics WA club race starts at the Perth Pony Club on Jon Sanders Drive. It is for runners and walkers aged 30 and over, and visitors can join the regular participants. The Around Herdsman course is a loop around the Herdsman Lake area that shows off Perth's urban wetlands, without turning the morning into a sightseeing tour.
Expect flat, fast road terrain with excellent underfoot conditions. The route circles the lake reserve, offering views of water and parkland. The course is forgiving for beginners, while experienced runners can push the pace. The age-graded handicap results add a competitive element, as participants race against the clock and the results table.
