2009 saw the inaugural run of the City to Surf Marathon. The event was a huge success boasting the largest field ever assembled in WA for a 42.2km race. 2010 will see the picturesque event return for run number two.
The 2010 Chevron marathon is an opportunity to challenge yourself to achieve something very special, a reward for commitment and desire. Whether you are looking for the ultimate physical challenge, or the ultimate mental challenge, this event is here for you to achieve something amazing.
Course – 42.2km |
The Chevron Marathon course takes in the beautiful sights of Perth, Western Australia. Runners will start in the CBD and travel along the magnificent Swan River for the first 21kms before entering Kings Park, Perth’s number one tourist attraction, with its remarkable expanses of unique bushland and tranquil parkland. Upon exit of the park it’s a 12km journey to one of Perth’s many stunning beaches of the Indian Ocean, City Beach, where the finish precinct offers a unique festival atmosphere with support from locals and participants in other events. |
