RACE DISTANCE & DESCRIPTION
The course is an accurately measured and SA certified 10 miles on “B” class roads and riverside track. It is a flat (fast) course, perfect for a PB, with a stadium start and finish.

START TIME/REGISTRATION/FACILITIES

Race start time: 11am on Sunday 28th April 2024.

Registration:
Registration will be in person from 09:30-10:30. Registration will be held within Perth Grammar School Games Hall. You will receive a number that must be worn clearly (not obscured by straps/jackets/reduced in size) on your front to ensure accurate timing. 

Any entrant found to have transferred numbers - or be wearing a transferred number - after registration will be disqualified and may be banned from future events. Number switching invalidates results and age category positions and can have serious implications if a runner becomes unwell during the event.
