Event Overview
Mother’s Day Classic Perth takes place on 10 May 2026, starting and finishing at Charles Paterson Park, Boorloo. The event offers 5km and 10km options with separate run and walk start waves across the morning. An “Embrace & Honour” 5km walk wave is also scheduled, with a minute of silence at the start line. The venue includes an event village and on-site facilities such as bag drop.
What the Course Demands
The course begins at Charles Paterson Park and follows the foreshore westbound before turning back, with different turnaround points for 5km and 10km. On the return, the route crosses Boorloo Bridge, continues along the foreshore, then loops back over Matagarup Bridge to finish at the park. With bridge crossings and out-and-back elements, pacing benefits from controlled early effort and steady rhythm through the mid-course.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and walkers looking for a well-structured community run with multiple start waves and straightforward distance choices. The 5km works for newcomers or those returning to running, while the 10km suits athletes wanting a longer continuous effort without complex logistics. It also fits participants who value a calm, respectful start option through the Embrace & Honour wave.
