Course – 42.2km |
The 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. |
