2009 Course – 42.2km |
The marathon course took in the beautiful sights of Perth, Western Australia. Runners started in the CBD and travelled along the magnificent Swan River for the first 21kms before entering in to Kings Park, Perth’s number one tourist attraction, with its remarkable expanses of unique bushland and tranquil parkland. Upon exit of the park it was a 12km journey to one of Perth’s many stunning beaches of the Indian Ocean, City Beach, where the finish precinct offered an amazing atmosphere and support from locals and participants in other distance events. |

A free clothing service to transport clothing items from the start line to the finish line was operated on race day. For full details on this service please refer to the 2009 Official Race Guide.
Flick Your Kit was also available in 2009 – a service that encouraged participants to wear old clothes down to the start line and to donate them to charity before the commencement of the event rather than collect at the finish. |
