PERTH RUNNING FESTIVAL ELITE FIELDS ARE IN 👀🔥

This Sunday, some serious talent takes to the streets of Perth before finishing inside Optus Stadium — and there are plenty of storylines worth following.

🌍 International firepower in the Marathon
Kenya’s Dominic Ngeno headlines the men’s field with a 2:06:37 PB, alongside Japan’s Ryoma Takeuchi (2:08:20), who finished 4th at Gold Coast earlier this year.

On the women’s side, Antonina Kwambai brings a 2:23:20 PB and arrives fresh from finishing 2nd at the 2026 Gold Coast Marathon.

🏆 WA titles up for grabs
The Marathon also doubles as the 2026 WA State Marathon Championship. Matt Smith, 2nd at PRF last year, leads the local men’s charge, while four-time Perth Marathon champion Nera Jareb is one to watch in the women’s race.

⚡ Ramsden returns
Matt Ramsden is back on the course where he ran the 64:11 Half Marathon course record in 2023 — this time arriving after wins at both the 2026 Perth City to Surf and Adelaide City-Bay 12km. Can that record go again? 👀

🔥 And keep an eye on the 10K…
Last year’s runner-up Max Shervington returns, while our very own Dean Menzies drops down to the 10K carrying a 2:17:41 marathon PB, Australian Masters M35 record and an Australian Marathon Championships silver medal.

After chatting with Elite Athlete Coordinator Sam Maxwell on this week’s podcast, we’ve got a bit more insight into the athletes, the recruitment behind the field and some of the storylines that could make Sunday interesting.

Thanks Adelaide

Super grateful to be given the opportunity by @australianathletics to race here amongst some quality athletes and mates. It’s no secret that the last few weeks have been really tough for me juggling so many things, but it’s just a stepping stone along the journey. I tend to forget how young I am and try aim for everything at once, but I’ve come to realise how even the negatives are there to shape the athlete I want to be in the future, when it all really matters. Thanks to God, my family, @benny_saintgram the @on family for the continuous support that means so much, it’ll come, I just have to be patient.
