Event Overview
The Bridges Fun Run is held in Perth, Western Australia on Sunday, 19 April 2026, with the event based at Barrack Square. Organised by the West Australian Marathon Club (WAMC), it offers 5km and 10km options, plus a 300m kids dash. The route is presented as a scenic city run that crosses several of Perth’s well-known bridges and takes in views across the Swan River and the skyline.
What the Course Demands
With a route that crosses several of Perth’s iconic bridges around Barrack Square and the Swan River, this course rewards steady pacing across a sealed urban setting. The gradual rises and descents of the bridges require controlled effort, particularly in the 10km, while maintaining rhythm on the connecting riverfront sections helps preserve momentum from start to finish.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and walkers looking for a structured, well-known community run with short-course options. The 5km is a practical choice for newer participants or those returning to running, while the 10km better fits athletes wanting a longer continuous effort. The kids dash provides an entry point for families attending together.
