THE COURSE
The Perth City to Surf Marathon is one the most scenic courses in Australia. The route takes Participants on a scenic tour from the City to the Surf, incorporating the traditional City to Surf route of the 12km event which has been run every August for 35 years.

The course starts in Perth CBD on St George's Terrace and consists of a 21km loop along the beautiful Swan River, past the iconic Old Swan Brewery and through the beautiful grounds of the University of Western Australia. The second half of the marathon (also the half marathon course) consists of a 10km loop through Perth's most popular tourist attraction, the picturesque Kings Park, followed by a final 12kms through vibrant Subiaco, serene Perry Lakes, and then on to the finish at City Beach on the Indian Ocean. The first half of the course is flat and fast, the second half a little more challenging. Pacing is the key.
