This is where you can learn to be a Race Director.    Find out how a chute is set up.   How the DAG system works.   How to use a Chronomix.    How to mark a course.   Amaze your friends and loved ones.  And . . . perhaps more importantly, help the club out at a run – even if you are not a Race Director the information you can pick up from this course will stand you in good stead as a helper.

Stick around after the Event Management Seminar and put your new found skills to use.   Or better yet have a go in the season’s first run.    Its only short so this should be a chance for a good kilometre time.    Run from the club down to the Graham Farmer Road Bridge , across,back towards Perth as far as the East Perth inlet then turn back towards the Railway/Road Bridge this time crossing on the former.

Run to Steves (while its still there) and back or turn after a measly 2.5km.   Either way, there is the chance to use the school pool after the event.    This is a good one to start the training year with and shake off the Christmas and New Year doldrums.    If you are going to use the pool, make sure you shower first.

Three laps with a twist - you and your fellow runners (one lap each) have to guess your time.  Closest to the guessed time wins.

Another flat fast course all on footpaths (well there is a short stretch on the road – twice for the 10km and once for the 5km).    The 10km goes West towards the yacht clubs before returning back past the start/finish line (tempting to turn and just do 4km).   Its then up to the Uni Boat Clubs nearly to Mounts Bay Road before returning towards the start/finish area.   Its not over until you have again gone West and returned to run across the grass to a well-earned finish and then one of Dave and Stella’s breakfasts.

This is the second year that this event has run.    Took over from the old Joondalup Fun Run.   Cross Country and a little tough – but then what can you expect from Mike Szalek.

This has what has to be the steepest hill in Perth as part of its delights.   If you are one of those runners that doesn’t look where he or she is going then you might get lost.   The course is marked by ribbon and its easy to miss.   We generally find the lost runners – generally.

Despite the first half being almost totally up hill this can be a fast course.   Maybe because the return journey is down hill.   Save a little for the run back.   Another one of Dave and Stella’s delightful breakfast occasions.

This is what you need to be doing if you plan on doing the Marathon (either Bunbury in May or Perth in July).   Get some kms under your belt and enjoy the company of other club members.   Course is basically out and back via the Perth Marathon route.

This is the first of the year’s Public Fun Runs.   Numbers were down last year because of the Relay for Life clashing.    If you get the chance, please promote this event in your workplace and among your family and friends.    If we can boost the numbers we can increase our donation to Telethon and also lift the image of the club in the general community.   After the Marathon , this is our most important event – please try and support it.
