Event Overview
The Sunset Coast Marathon & Run Festival is a running event held on 20 September 2026 at Tom Simpson Park, Mullaloo Beach in Western Australia. The program offers a range of distances from a 2km fun run through to the 42.2km marathon, with additional 5km, 10km and 21.1km options. Starts are scheduled from 6am, with the start and finish located at the same venue for straightforward race-day logistics.
What the Course Demands
Event information describes a coastal shared-path course, so pacing discipline and steady rhythm are likely to matter across all distances. With multiple events on the same morning and early start times, athletes should plan around staging, start procedures and moving efficiently through the start/finish area. Longer races will reward consistent execution and attention to in-race hydration planning at drink stations.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits a wide spread of runners, from first-time participants targeting 2km or 5km through to experienced athletes preparing for a half marathon or marathon. It can work well for runners who prefer a structured event hub with several distance choices on the same day. Athletes looking for a September race in Perth’s northern coastal area may find it a practical fit.
