The Wadjemup Rottnest Running Festival is run on the car-free island of Rottnest (Wadjemup) off Fremantle, each June. Organised by the West Australian Marathon Club, it offers a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km and a kids' quokka dash on the island's quiet roads. The ferry over and the chance to make a weekend of it are half the appeal, and it is one of the more memorable settings for a road race in the country.
