Freo Ocean Classic Run Swim Run 3km Run Race starts at Leighton Beach, North Fremantle, WA. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Freo Ocean Classic Run Swim Run 3km Run Race Route Breakdown
The course starts on the sandy promenade of Leighton Beach, where participants tackle a flat 1‑ or 2‑km beach run before heading into the calm, protected waters for a 1‑ or 2‑km swim. After the dip, athletes return to the shore for a second beach run, mirroring the first distance. The Aquathlon options combine a 3‑km or 6‑km run, a 1‑km or 2‑km swim and a matching beach run, all on the same stretch of iconic Fremantle coastline. Spectators line the sand, and the surf lifesaving club provides safety and support throughout the day.

Training Strategy for Freo Ocean Classic Run Swim Run 3km Run Race
6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 1.86-mile race. Combine a weekly long run with threshold work so you can hold pace over the full distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Leighton Beach, North Fremantle, WA fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
1.86-Mile Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A normal diet is fine. There is no need to carb-load for a race of this length.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
No on-course fuel is needed at this distance for most runners — water stations are the usual provision.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
