About the race
The Perth5k is a 5 km road race held in Herdsman, WA on December 6, 2026, on Jon Sanders Drive. The course is run as two 2.5 km loops, producing the full 5 km distance.
The event uses a graded format with wave assignments based on target finish times. Six performance waves are listed by time ranges: Wave A for 30:00 minutes and slower, Wave B 24:00–30:00, Wave C 21:00–24:00, Wave D 19:00–21:00, Wave E 17:00–19:00, and Wave F for sub-17:00 (elite). This format groups runners with similar expected times for pacing and competition over the two-loop course.
Registration is open for the 5 km distance with tiered pricing periods. An early bird fee of A$30 applied during an initial registration window, a standard fee of A$40 applied for a later window, and a final fee of A$50 applied closer to the event. The listing notes that displayed prices include mandatory charges and fees.
A course map is provided by the organiser. The event page references an official Perth run website and an FAQ for additional logistical details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
