World Masters Athletics Championships Perth 2016 : The Venues (Distance)
Main Stadium
Wind generally helps the sprinters, especially in the afternoon. As the inland heats up breeze comes in from the sea (west to east, left to right). It's often strong enough to affect tactics in longer races. In the morning it can be calm. Main stand and finish line middle right of image
Cross Country
Not much wind, flattish, manicured grass or ankle high grass, circuit non-technical.
Start should be near playing fields right of picture. There are no real obstacles, well shaded, 4 x 2000m loops around lake (may not have water) left or west of image, suggest spikes.
Ern Clark Athletics Field (5000m, 10000m track)
I haven't run here. Track is reverse of main stadium in layout from this image (it has been resurfaced). Wind from west or left, finish line left of image. Normally a headwind in main straight, more wind from mid-morning increasing through day.
