Mackay Road Runners extends a big thank you to volunteers who helped with setup, spoke to prospective and existing members, and packed up at the MECC Sports Expo last weekend.
It was a lovely and very successful event filled with chatting, talking, laughing… and more talking! Special thanks to Julie Whibley (Secretary), Janelle Tilse (Publicity Officer), Club Captain Jim Ford, Assetkeeper Andrew Short, Merchandiser Jo Hughes, and Vice-President Len Howarth for their time and support throughout the weekend. The club is incredibly grateful for any assistance offered at any time.
The 2025 Mackay Road Runners committee welcomes you this Sunday, to come along for the 2025 season opener at 4pm (for a 4:30pm social racing start) at the North Mackay Bowls Club rear carpark. Please note the new meeting point from previous years.
In case of weather amendments or cancellations, please keep up to date via the Facebook page. All existing members should wear their race bib so the timekeepers can do a test run of the timing systems ahead of the first timed run next Sunday morning.
New members are also welcome!
