Event Overview
Chevron City to Surf for genU Perth is scheduled for Sunday 30 August 2026, with 4km and 12km options. The 12km starts at the intersection of St Georges Terrace and William Street in Perth, while the 4km starts at McLean Park, Floreat. Both events finish at City Beach Oval, City Beach. Assembly and start times are listed by organisers and noted as subject to change.
What the Course Demands
With two start locations and a shared finish at City Beach Oval, the key execution demand is managing an efficient early rhythm from the gun. The 4km places emphasis on settling quickly and holding speed to the line. The 12km rewards steady pacing and disciplined effort across the full distance, with attention to spacing and positioning through the opening stages.
Who This Event Suits Best
The 4km suits newer runners and those returning to running who want a shorter, structured event day. The 12km is a better match for runners comfortable sustaining effort beyond a short sprint and looking for a solid mid-distance challenge. Both events work well for athletes who value clear start/finish logistics and a defined point-to-point style day out.
