Light up the night at the Mackay Airport Twilight City Run, a vibrant community 5km event perfect for everyone from serious runners to families with prams on Friday, 6 March 2026. This accessible evening fun run starts and finishes at the iconic 'Fish Bones' on Mackay Bluewater Quay, creating a stunning riverside backdrop for your walk, jog, or sprint. With wave starts catering to all paces—from under 25 minutes to a relaxed 30+ minutes—it’s the ideal, low-pressure launchpad for training towards the BMA Mackay Marina Run in June.
More than just a run, it's a heartfelt community effort where every $10 adult or $5 student registration directly supports the vital work of the local Leukaemia Foundation. Experience the electric atmosphere as the city lights begin to glow, uniting participants of all ages and abilities for an unforgettable evening of fun, fitness, and philanthropy. Gather your friends and family for a sunset dash that makes a real difference, celebrating health and community spirit under the Mackay twilight sky.
