Experience the serenity of Perth's Canning River at the Canning River Runningworks Festival. Starting and finishing alongside this picturesque waterway, runners will be greeted by lush greenery and scenic views that change with each step. The festival offers three challenging routes: a marathon starting at 7:00 AM, followed closely by the half marathon at 7:30 AM and the 10k event at 7:45 AM. Participants can expect a total of six hours to complete their chosen distance, ensuring ample time for a leisurely run or a competitive challenge. Medals await all marathon and half marathon finishers as they cross the finish line, celebrating their achievement in this beautiful setting. On-site live timing will provide real-time updates throughout the race, allowing friends and family to follow along as runners progress through the course. The top three places in each event—marathon, half marathon, and 10k—will receive special recognition with medals presented at the conclusion of the festival. For those interested in lending a hand, volunteer opportunities are available. Contact Chris Lark via email at runningworkshilton@outlook.com to get involved or for more information about volunteering.
