Event Overview
Snakes N Ladders is a Perth Trail Series event held at Serpentine National Park in Western Australia on 21 June. The morning program uses staggered starts for the Black, Blue and Green courses, following a mandatory pre-start briefing. Entry is offered across the colour-coded course options, with separate Kids/Teens/U16 categories for Green and Blue. Final course specifics are provided via the event brief issued in the week leading into race day.
What the Course Demands
This event is built around the Perth Trail Series colour system, with Green positioned as the shortest option and Black as the most demanding. The venue and course descriptions indicate regular climbs where many participants hike, making pacing and effort management important. Expect uneven terrain and frequent changes in rhythm, particularly on the longer options where sustained concentration and confident footing help maintain momentum from start to finish.
Who This Event Suits Best
Snakes N Ladders suits runners who prefer a structured trail event with multiple distance bands and clear start procedures. The Green course option works for newcomers and those returning to running, while Blue suits runners comfortable covering mid-length efforts. Black is best matched to experienced trail runners looking for a harder course. Family participation is supported through the Kids/Teens/U16 entry categories and age requirements.
