The Westpac Half Marathon had its inaugural run in 2007 and has been a hugely successful addition to the event programe growing rapidly in its first three years. Participation numbers in 2009 once again eclipsed those ever seen before for a race of its distance in Perth. In 2010 we expect the Westpac Half Marathon to attract close to 3000 runners.

The Course – 21.1km The route takes runners on a scenic loop of Kings Park before re-joining the traditional 12km route through Subiaco, Perry Lakes Reserve and on to City Beach.
