Had an amazing time at the MMR in 2021! Was wonderful to connect with the Mackay running community again – not only at the race but also at various functions before and after. The race itself was fantastic and the biggest “in person” event I’d attended since the pandemic. Pacing the 2hr group for the half marathon was so much fun. I continue to be inspired by runners of all ages/ abilities who give their all to achieve their goals! I especially love chatting to people post race on their race experience. Fantastic stories! Thanks to all for having me up there as an ambassador again, already looking forward to 2022!
