Event Overview
The Darlington Dash is a road running event held at MJ Morgan Reserve in Glen Forrest on Sunday 23 August 2026, with an 8:00am start time. The event offers 11km and 5.5km run or walk distances and is conducted on sealed roads as part of the Masters Athletics Western Australia Sunday series.
What the Course Demands
With 11km and 5.5km options, the event can be approached either as a steadier outing or a higher-intensity effort over a shorter duration. The shorter course tends to reward controlled pacing from the start, while the longer event places more emphasis on maintaining rhythm as fatigue builds. Review the organiser’s course map ahead of time to understand the layout and any key turnarounds.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and walkers looking for a straightforward race-day hit-out within a club-based calendar. The 5.5km option works well for athletes newer to organised events or returning to regular racing, while the 11km is a solid choice for those comfortable with sustained running beyond 10km. It also suits athletes who value timed results and a consistent start time.
