Frequently Asked Questions

How do I train for a 10K?
A 10K typically requires 8-12 weeks of consistent training. This is general guidance; personalize based on your fitness level. Run 3-4 times per week: include shorter runs (3-5km), one longer run building from 5km to 8-9km, and one tempo or speed session. Gradually increase your longest run each week by about 1km. Rest days prevent injury.

What's a good 10K pace?
10K paces depend on fitness level. These are general benchmarks. Beginners: 7-9 min/km (70-90 mins). Intermediate: 5-7 min/km (50-70 mins). Advanced: 4-5 min/km (40-50 mins). Your first 10K is about crossing the finish line, not the clock. Many runners walk portions—that's completely normal and acceptable.

How do I avoid injury while training for a 10K?
This is general injury-prevention guidance. Key strategies: increase mileage gradually (no more than 10% per week), include rest days, do dynamic warm-ups before runs, strength training 2x weekly (core and legs), and proper footwear. Listen to sharp pain—it's different from muscle soreness. If pain persists, rest and see a health professional.

How do I get to events in Perth by public transport?
Perth's Transperth trains, buses and ferries serve many event areas, although some outer-suburban venues are easier to reach by car. Browse events in Perth, check the event listing for the exact start location and parking information, then use the Transperth journey planner to confirm whether public transport suits the event time.

Perth's heat—how do I stay safe in summer events?
Perth summers (Dec-Feb) are very hot and dry. Almost all events start early (6-7am or earlier) to complete before peak heat. Wear light colors, sunscreen, and hydrate aggressively. Many participants run by 8am. Water is critical—drink more than you think you need in dry heat. Train early-morning if preparing for a summer race. Spring and autumn are much more forgiving.

Popular event venues in Perth?
Perth events use locations such as Kings Park, the Swan River foreshore, coastal precincts, city venues and facilities across the outer suburbs. Terrain, shade and public transport vary, and travel distances can be significant. Browse events in Perth and check the individual listing for its venue, course and parking arrangements.

When's the best time for outdoor events in Perth?
Autumn (March-May) and spring (September-November) are ideal—comfortable temperatures, low humidity. Summer (Dec-Feb) is scorching—only very early events. Winter (June-August) is mild but some rain. Peak racing season is spring (October-November) and early autumn. If you dislike extreme heat, avoid summer entirely.

Do I have to run the exact distance listed in the event?
Each event sets its own rules. Some allow you to run, walk, or jog the distance. Others accept modified distances or allow you to split the activity across multiple days. Check the event details for specific requirements.

Can I join a running challenge if I cannot attend an event in person?
Yes. Virtual running challenges let you complete a set distance or cumulative goal on your own route and schedule. Check each listing for its participation dates, tracking requirements, and whether the distance must be completed in one session.

How does fundraising work in charity events?
Charity events typically ask participants to secure sponsorships (donations) from friends and family based on their participation or performance. You register, then share a fundraising link with your network. Funds go directly to the charity.

Do I have to fundraise to participate in a charity event?
Requirements vary by event. Some events ask participants to set a fundraising target, while others allow you to participate with just a registration fee. Check the event details to see what's expected.

How do I search for events in my area?
Use the search filters on this page to find events by sport type (running, cycling, walking), location (search by suburb or postcode), and date (this weekend, this month, or a custom range). Virtual events can be found by checking the Virtual & Online filter.
