A collection of notable climbs around Perth because we’re too lazy go down to the course proper and train on it. All hill information has been wholesale stolen from Strava.

This is a collection of Strava segments, it’s up to you to get to it. I suggest you trawl through the overall leaderboard for that segment and find someone’s run to copy.

If you are familiar with these climbs and think that the noted location should be adjusted (i.e. should be listed within a National Park because it’s accessible only from within the park, etc), please get in touch and it can be amended. For some I merely took a punt off what the Strava map suggested.
