Queensland’s best running race records revealed

Forget the Gold Coast or Sydney Marathons, the BMA Mackay Marina Run is now one of the most lucrative running events in Australia with our new race record bonuses set for 2026.

Our new cash bonuses will be awarded to runners who break a record in their 21.1km half marathon, 10km or 5km events.

Take out our Isuzu Ute 21.1km Half Marathon and break the race record and the total prize pool could be an enticing $7,500 in cash. Spicy!

Of course, breaking a race record requires the perfect conditions, and on that, we totally deliver.  Our flat and fast course plus temperate weather means smashing a race record is entirely possible.

Our 10km and 5km race records were broken in 2025 – will 2026 see our half marathon race record fall?

Think you’ve got what it takes to bring home the big bucks?

Record bonuses have become a major talking point among elite runners, and for good reason.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, a top 3 spot, or that sweet $7,500 in your pocket, the BMA Mackay Marina Run is the course to chase the pace.

Join us on Sunday, the 7th of June 2026, and see if you can run your way into the record books.
