RunningWorks 3 Valleys Marathon

The RunningWorks 3 Valleys Marathon is a technical trail race based at Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp in Western Australia, with marathon, half marathon, 10k, and team relay options. It is run in October and gives runners a camp-style event base rather than a city start line, with showers, a coffee van, BBQ facilities, and a fire pit on site. The series is organised by Runningworks Event Series Pty Ltd and is in its sixth running. The marathon course uses flowing single-track around Bickley Valley and adds the Victoria Dam Lookout, with views over the valley and the dam. The terrain is the main draw: runners get hard climbs, including the Quad Cruncher, and fast descents such as Zelda. Dan Leach from 92.9 works the microphone as MC, spectators can follow parts of the trail network, and finishers in the marathon, half marathon, and team relay receive medals.
