About the event

Experience the Mackay Airport Twilight City Run on March 5, 2027, where runners and walkers alike come together to celebrate community spirit. This 5km course begins at 6:00 PM sharp from the iconic 'Fish Bones' sculpture along River Street in Mackay Bluewater Quay. Participants can choose their pace with wave starts designed for different speed groups: Wave A for those aiming under 25 minutes, Wave B for 25-30 minute finishers, and Wave C for a more leisurely stroll or pram push at 30+ minutes.
The event is not just about the race; it's an opportunity to kickstart your training journey ahead of June’s BMA Mackay Marina Run. With registration exclusively online, gather your family and friends for this twilight adventure that supports local initiatives through its fundraising efforts for the Leukaemia Foundation. Join a vibrant community under the setting sun as you explore scenic waterfront paths in one of Queensland's most charming coastal cities.
