Bold Park and Reabold Hill Trail Run
Bold Park and Reabold Hill offer Perth runners a stronger, more trail-focused alternative to the city’s flatter river and coastal routes. Located near City Beach, the network includes rolling climbs, exposed sections and elevated views across the ocean and city, making it a memorable option for endurance runners who want variety.
This route trades speed for strength and scenery. It is well suited to hill training, trail-leaning long runs and runners who want a route that feels more remote while still being close to Perth’s urban core. The terrain is not highly technical, but the elevation and exposure make it more demanding than the river or lake options.
Runners should start early, carry water and check conditions before heading out in hot weather. The reward is a route with panoramic lookouts, natural bushland and enough elevation to make every kilometre feel purposeful.

Important Notes
General Perth Running Guidance
Best time of day: Early mornings are ideal year-round. Perth’s dry heat can escalate quickly, especially in summer, but coastal and river routes benefit from cooling breezes.
Hydration and logistics: Perth running paths can be long and exposed, so carry water or plan refill points. Coastal routes offer cafés at natural turnaround spots.
Transport tips: River and lake routes are accessible from most CBD and inner-suburb hotels. Coastal and trail routes are easiest with a short car or rideshare trip.
