Masters Athletics WA Whiteman Park 2026

The run begins near Whiteman Village and proceeds onto the well-maintained roads of Drumpellier Drive and adjacent routes within Whiteman Park. This event is part of the Masters Athletics WA weekly running and walking program, characterized by its practical, low-key nature and focus on athletes aged 30 and above, rather than a large-scale spectacle. Participants will encounter natural bushland and open parklands, with morning conditions conducive to consistent pacing. The course is flat with slight undulations, making it suitable for novices, walkers, and competitive runners aiming for a swift, attainable course ideal for personal bests. The atmosphere resembles a social weekend run among fellow masters athletes, distinct from the disarray of a mass start, yet a formal results sheet is provided. A notable feature is the age-graded handicap system, which prioritizes performance relative to one's age group over absolute finish time.
