Running in Perth
Can anybody give me some advice about running clubs in the Perth area. We are planning on arriving in Perth July/August 05 (if all goes well!) meds booked for 24/11 so fingers crossed, anyway back to running - I am a keen although very average runner but would like to join a club - I have found the website for Western Australia Marathon Club & sent a couple of emails but had no response - is the club still active?
We will probably start off in the Joondalup area so if anyone knows of anything going on please reply. Also as any Brit expats who run will know, during the winter you tailor your running around the weather - who am I kidding make that all year 'round - but I imagine I'll have to avoid the summer heat - is it possible to run all year? (without running at ridiculous times of the day).
At the moment we live near the peak district & I run on trails a lot - I have no idea what is available where we are going so any pointers would be greatly appreciated - Thanks.

Check this out for next August - I ran it for the first time this year, I think there was about 30,000 people it was a great atmosphere.

Re: Running in Perth
Hi, We are also moving to Perth hopefully in January, The 2 sites are great, as I have also tried to find running clubs around the same area, there doesnt seem to be many clubs around ! Just miles and miles of beautiful golden sand beaches to run on
