About this event
The annual Run For MI Life Charity Fun Run returns on Sunday, October 18, 2026, now hosted at the scenic Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens. This community-focused event invites participants of all ages to run or walk 3km, 5km, or 10km distances.
Dogs, walkers, prams, and scooters are welcome, though they will be directed to the back of the respective running groups to ensure a safe and organized start. The event features separate starts for each distance, with the 10km group beginning first.
Run For MI Life is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about depression and suicide while dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health. Every dollar raised stays local, funding programs, training courses, and initiatives that connect individuals with support agencies and foster a suicide-safe community. Since its inception in 2014, the event has raised over $400,000 across three locations to inspire people to seek help when needed.
Participants can register online or pay on the day at the event venue.
