Perth 32 2026

From the WAMC Clubrooms at Burswood Water Sports Centre, this is a club-style road race with a practical distance-runner feel. Perth 32 is built around a longer morning effort, the kind that works as an "excellent training opportunity for marathon preparation" or as its own test if you already like spending a while on your feet. The route "showcases Perth's diverse landscapes" without making a fuss about it. Expect a "scenic journey through the city's streets and riverside paths," with enough flat running to settle into rhythm and enough gentle inclines to keep you honest. Both groups head off together in the cooler morning conditions, so the start should have that familiar mix of nervous beginners and experienced distance runners quietly checking watches. Aid stations are placed regularly, which matters on a course that is accessible but still asks for proper respect.
