Spoken Streets
Join the Bunbury Sundowner Runs for a scenic 5K that combines sunset views, storytelling, and coastal charm. Perfect for a memorable outdoor experience.
Spoken Streets is a Bunbury-based experience company that creates guided running tours combining local storytelling and scenic routes. Founded to connect visitors and residents with Bunbury’s coastal landscapes and community history, Spoken Streets specializes in curated 5-kilometre running experiences led by local guide Dan. Each run integrates frequent interpretive stops where participants hear stories about the area’s natural features, landmarks, and cultural highlights while maintaining a relaxed pace suitable for runners of varying abilities.
The business operates two signature experiences: the Bunbury Three Waters Sights and Stories 5K Running Tour, a daytime scenic run focused on local narratives and waterfront views; and the Bunbury Three Waters Sights and Stories 5K Sundowner Runs, which feature sunset vistas finishing at Casuarina Lighthouse and a social finish at a nearby brewery. Tours emphasize safety, accessibility, and small group sizes to ensure personal attention and clear communication throughout each route.
Spoken Streets relies on local knowledge and live narration rather than scripted audio, providing authentic context about Bunbury’s coastal environment and community landmarks. Bookings are available for individuals and small groups, with scheduling adjusted seasonally to match daylight hours and weather considerations. The guide, Dan, is experienced in pacing mixed-ability groups and pauses frequently to share information and allow recovery.
For visitors seeking an active way to explore Bunbury, Spoken Streets offers a distinctive blend of exercise, storytelling, and local hospitality that highlights regional sights, sustainable outdoor recreation, and community-oriented experiences. Reservations and up-to-date schedules are published on their booking page online year-round regularly.
