Saturday 12 December 2026, 8.00am

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Join us for our annual Perth Frontrunners Christmas Picnic as we wrap up another fantastic year of running, walking, friendship and fun!

This is like our usual Saturday morning run or walk… but with a festive twist and a delicious picnic afterwards!

We'll meet at the beautiful Old Perth Observatory, head out for a run or walk through Kings Park, then return for a relaxed Christmas morning tea under the big tree.

And the best part? The club is putting on the food! Expect a delicious spread of sweet and savoury treats, including some goodies from a local bakery. All you need to bring is your picnic rug, something to drink and your Christmas cheer!

Festive dress-ups are encouraged (but completely optional)! Whether it's a Santa hat, reindeer antlers, Christmas colours or a full-blown festive masterpiece, we'd love to see your Christmas spirit!
