Bridges Fun Run
The Bridges Fun Run begins and ends at Barrack Square in Perth. Participants can choose between 5 km and 10 km run-or-walk distances, or a 0.3 km Kids Dash. The West Australian Marathon Club, organizing events in Western Australia since 1972, hosts the run. WAMC members receive free entry. The Perron Institute is the event sponsor, and participants may direct their entry fees to support youth mental health research at the institute. The route follows a flat, sealed-road path around Perth’s bridges and the Swan River foreshore, making it suitable for novice participants, walkers, and runners aiming for a fast finish. The course extends along Riverside Drive and crosses Matagarup Bridge, offering clear views of the river, Kings Park, and the Perth city skyline. Professional chip timing is used, and the event concludes back at Barrack Square with refreshments and post-race activities.
