All Aboard Our New Shuttle Service

Fancy a stress-free running experience?  We’ve just launched our new Ride & Run Shuttle Service. 

Thanks to Kinetic Buses, we’ll be running a shuttle service to this year’s BMA Mackay Marina Run with its own exclusive route and event access point – meaning you won’t need to stress about road closures, parking or logistics.

Take our shuttle and enjoy the following benefits:

  • Stress free transport to and from the race
  • Avoid the queue on Ron Searle Dr (our shuttle has a special entry point 👌)
  • Designated toilets at the bus drop off area
  • Bag storage facilities
  • Fun giveways 🎉

Shuttle bus seats must be booked in advance to ensure we run enough services on the day. Book (early) and you shall receive!

To book the shuttle:

For new registrants:

  1. Simply add the shuttle bus option when you register

If you have already registered:

  1. Log into your existing Race Roster account
  2. Click Edit to change your registration
  3. Add the shuttle bus service to your booking.
