Fremantle Ports Harbour Master Classic Fun Run

Mark it in your diary for the fourth Fremantle Ports Harbour Master Classic and start training for Perth’s most scenic fun run!

This is your chance to run fast, flat, fun and traffic-free, along Fremantle Port’s historic Victoria Quay and out to the South Mole lighthouse. Whether you are a serious runner or are looking for a post-summer challenge, this event is for you.

Join us for the 2024 Fremantle Ports Harbour Master Classic Fun Run and make a difference! This year, we are thrilled to announce that our beneficiary will be the Native Animal Rescue (NAR). Lace up your running shoes and come out to support a worthy cause while enjoying a fun-filled event. Every step you take will help NAR in their mission to rescue and rehabilitate native animals in need. 

The Harbour Master Classic is a WA Marathon Club event starting in front of the iconic Fremantle Ports building, heading north-east along Peter Hughes Drive through the date palms and past the heritage-listed Passenger Terminal - enjoying the harbourside sights and sounds. Take in ships and cargo before heading back to WA’s Maritime Museum, past the historic HMAS Ovens submarine and east by the quaint Slip Street sheds. As you pass Challenger TAFE, enjoy the sweeping views of Bathers Beach and Cockburn Sound as you make way on the port side of the road to the South Mole light house, and return to Victoria Quay with magnificent views of the Inner Harbour.

Challenge yourself with the 5km or 10 km event and enjoy the scenery of Australia’s best maritime gateway. Get a school team together, run with the football/netball club or in a family group. Prams are welcome and there’s a kids’ run too.

Spot prizes will be awarded on the day - among them will be one forthe best nautical costume. All finishers will receive a medal.

Runners are encouraged to get to the event by train, with Fremantle Railway Station just 300m from the start line. (Trains arriving at Fremantle from 7.15am) Bag drop is available in B Shed, so bring a jumper so you can enjoy the post-race entertainment on Victoria Quay.

Don't miss this opportunity to make a positive impact on the local wildlife community while taking part in an exciting and scenic fun run. Register now and be a part of the Fremantle Ports Harbour Master Classic Fun Run for a great cause!
