Welcome

The Mackay Marina Run is the premier community running event for the exciting region of Mackay. It is also a major running event for regional Qld with over 1400 people registering in 2011. The event has grown with tremendous support from the local community including Mackay Regional Council and BMA. Additionally it has benefited from the invaluable support and expertise of the Qld Events Regional Development Program.

While the event has its genesis with Mackay Road Runners who are the primary organisers, the event has links within the local community including the Mackay West Rotary club and the local branch of the Leukaemia foundation who are the major beneficiaries of the significant fundraising efforts that are embodied in the event.

Message from the Mayor of Mackay Regional Council

Runners and walkers of all abilities will experience fun and excitement and all that a premier running event has to offer at the 2012 Mackay Marina Run.

Held on Sunday, June 3, 2012 the event takes in much of the beautiful surrounds of Mackay including the ocean at the Mackay Surf Club, and the half marathon course loops through the city showcasing some of the fantastic features of Mackay, the city, the Pioneer River and the world class marina.

Whilst enjoying the great outdoors you will also be helping to raise funds for a great cause, the Leukaemia Foundation. In 2011, funds nearing $40,000 were generated providing significant income for the local branch.

With over 1500 participants expected to take part in the annual event, it is one of the ‘must do’ running events in regional Queensland.

Mackay Regional Council supports health and fitness within the region and we wish all the entrants the best of luck.

Mayor Col Meng
Mackay Regional Council
