Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best age for kids to start running in family events?
Most family events welcome kids ages 4-5 and up, with shorter distances for younger children. At ages 4-6, keep it fun and short (1-2km). Ages 7-10 can handle 3-5km. Teens can do adult distances. The key is making it enjoyable—focus on participation, not pace. Many events have staggered starts for different age groups.

How do I encourage my child to participate in events?
Make it fun: go for the party atmosphere, not the competition. Let them choose their own pace. Train together on short, enjoyable runs. Celebrate small wins during training. Find events with kids' activities or entertainment. Don't pressure them to 'race'—let them see other kids having fun. Many kids who hesitate initially become enthusiastic after one good event experience.

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.

Can my family participate in a walking event together?
Yes. Many walking events are designed for families and welcome participants of all ages and fitness levels. Check the event details to see if there are distance options, age groups, or family categories.

What age should children be to participate in a fun run?
Most fun runs welcome families with children of all ages. Many events offer different distance options for kids (such as 1 km), families, and serious runners. Check the event details to see what's available and any age recommendations.

Can we register as a family team?
Many family fun runs allow team registration, but it varies by event. Some events let families register together as a group, while others require individual registrations. Check the event's registration page for team or family options.

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.
