Run for youth mental health research at the Perron Institute Bridges Fun Run 2026

Organised by the West Australian Marathon Club (WAMC) and sponsored by Perron Institute, this incredible annual event is back again on Sunday, 19 April 2026.

The Bridges Fun Run is a scenic 5km and 10km run or walk through the heart of Perth, crossing some of the city’s most iconic bridges with stunning views of the Swan River and city skyline.

This year, you’re participation supports youth mental health research at the Perron Institute, where every dollar raised helps fund vital research that opens the door to brighter futures for young people facing mental health challenges. Whether your a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or bringing the kids along for the fun, there is a distance for everyone. Come as a team or go solo!

You can make an even bigger impact by turning your run into a fundraiser. Set a goal, share why this cause matters to you, and invite others to get involved.  Use our fundraising toolkit to help you reach your target.

We look forward to seeing you there!
