5K races near Mackay

Wests Leagues Club hosts this annual community fun run, a local event where the cause is as important as the time. The Run For MI Life Charity Fun Run raises awareness about depression and suicide. Funds support local programs aiming to “reduce stigma, change perceptions” and help people find support. The field is broad: runners, walkers, families with prams, and dogs on leads. Bikes are not permitted. Expect a relaxed club-based start and finish, with many participants moving at their own pace. The crowd understands the importance of participating beyond the run itself: to “connect individuals in need with vital support services.”
