Highlights

Leschenault Inlet - The Leschenault inlet throws up lots for us to admire and reflect upon as we pass it by. It hasn’t always been the way you see it today. Hear about the dramatic changes experienced in a small passage of time!
Mangrove Boardwalk - Reopening soon, and hopefully by now, this is an enchanting part of the run as we make our way through these wiley, ancient residents of the Inlet… whilst keeping our feet dry and out of the mud!
Koombana Bay - Koombana Bay has surprised a few in the past with a history of shipwrecks occurring here - some called it Shipwreck Bay! But the Meaning of ‘Koombanah’ is much nicer than that. This bay has a knack for shimmering under the morning sun and is where we are most likely to spot some dolphins during the run.
Jetty Baths - Jetty Baths is a quiet little spot that comes alive in the summer season, as it did when David Dickson - Bunbury’s first Olympic and Commonwealth Games medalist trained in these very waters. Hard to imagine modern athletes being happy with this spot now, but it still works for happy families! Oh and there is a restaurant we run past here to get our tummies grumbling.
Marlston Hill Lookout Tower - Having a view of Bunbury’s famous three waters (and more) is best done from somewhere elevated. So why not do it from the site of Bunbury’s earliest lighthouses (yes we’ve had a few) after climbing the steps of the Lookout Tower.

Additional Information

Exploring Bunbury on foot is the perfect way to soak in all its charm and surprises. So let’s get some exercise, fresh air and stories as we run from one site to the next on a carefully selected 5km running route around Bunbury’s famous three waters. We will stop often for stories about the places we discover and to get some great pics along the way.

Take a running tour and find out for yourself just how much fun discovery can be in this stunning city when you keep on moving!
