Joondalup Running Festival
The Joondalup Running Festival is a community road running event organised by the West Australian Marathon Club at Neil Hawkins Park, Joondalup on 16 May 2027. The event offers multiple race distances and a separate kids dash for younger participants.
Distances include:
- 21.1 km half marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 300 m Kids Dash for children under 12
The half marathon course is AIMS certified. All finishers in the 21.1 km, 10 km, 5 km and Kids Dash receive a finisher medal. The Kids Dash is free to enter and covers approximately 300 m; it is open to children under 12. Half marathon entrants must be at least 16 years old on race day.
Race timing is electronic using disposable timing chips attached to race bibs. Bibs are allocated to the nominated entrant, must be worn on the front and kept flat; they are non-transferable. A surcharge applies if a replacement bib is required on the day. Bib collection arrangements are confirmed closer to the event; there is no general bib collection on race morning unless prior arrangements are made.
Pacers will be available on the half marathon course to assist runners aiming for specific target times. The event includes award presentations and prize draws at the finish area, and a course cutoff policy with a tail runner to support slower participants.
