The Perth Half Marathon is a community half marathon in Perth, Western Australia, conducted by the West Australian Marathon Club on a Sunday in early August; the 2027 race is on 1 August. The 2025 race was the 41st edition. It starts and finishes at the club's rooms at the Burswood Water Sports Centre, in front of the Burswood foreshore of the Swan River, and the course follows the river. A 5 km run or walk and the Perth Kids Marathon are held at the same venue, and the half marathon starts at 8:00 a.m. The event hosts the WA State Half Marathon Championships. Proceeds go to the Lions Save Sight Foundation, whose volunteers staff a drink station and serve a sausage sizzle at the finish. All finishers in the half marathon and the 5 km receive a medal. The race is one of four club half marathons in the WAMC Half Marathon Grand Slam, along with Darlington, Joondalup and Fremantle.
