Event Overview
The Cyril Norman Lake Gwelup Fun Run is scheduled for Sunday, 16 August 2026 in Perth, Western Australia, based at the Lake Gwelup Sports Centre. Organised by the West Australian Marathon Club, it offers 5km and 10km options. The route is described as following the footpaths around Lake Gwelup. Participation is open to non-club members, with key details such as start times and entry fees provided via the event website.
What the Course Demands
With 5km and 10km options, the main requirement is maintaining steady pacing while moving through shared-use path environments around the lake. The setting can involve regular changes in direction and passing other participants, so awareness and controlled speed shifts matter. For the 10km, sustaining rhythm over a longer continuous effort becomes the focus compared with the shorter 5km event.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners and walkers looking for a straightforward 5km or 10km outing within Perth, including those who prefer a club-organised race without needing membership. It can work well for athletes building confidence in organised events, as well as more experienced runners who want a controlled effort over familiar fun-run distances.
