Event Overview

Perth 32 is a long-distance road running event hosted by the West Australian Marathon Club and scheduled for Sunday, 23 August 2026 in Perth, Western Australia. The event offers two distance options, 32km and 10km, both starting in the morning and designed for endurance-focused runners preparing for spring racing goals. Positioned as a community road race, Perth 32 provides a structured, club-run event environment and supports the charity On My Feet.

What the Course Demands

The course follows paved river foreshore paths and urban roads, creating a predominantly flat and fast-running surface. While there are no major climbs, the longer 32km distance requires disciplined pacing, steady energy management, and the ability to maintain rhythm over extended sections of uninterrupted running. Exposure along open river stretches can also make wind a factor, adding an additional endurance component on the day.

Who This Event Suits Best

This event suits runners preparing for longer runs, as well as those building endurance in a structured club race setting. The 32km option is particularly valuable for experienced runners seeking a long race simulation, while the 10km provides a shorter competitive effort for developing athletes or those returning to racing. It is well suited to runners who prefer flat road courses and steady pacing conditions..
