Description
Organiser: Mackay Road Runners
The BMA Mackay Marina Run, held on Sunday, 7 June 2026, offers a variety of race distances including a Half Marathon (21.1km), 10km and 5km fun runs, and a 3km Kids Dash designed for young runners.
Taking place annually on the first Sunday in June, the event features a scenic, flat, and fast course that starts at the Mackay Marina Precinct and winds through the beautiful coastal city of Mackay, Queensland. This setting provides runners with stunning blue water views and lush sub-tropical scenery, making it one of Queensland’s most picturesque running events.
Positioned about four weeks before the Gold Coast Marathon, the Mackay Marina Run is a key fixture on the Mackay Road Runners’ calendar and attracts both experienced and novice runners alike.
