The Mackenzie Half Marathon is scheduled for 12 July 2025, set against the scenic backdrop of the Mackenzie region. The course features a diverse mix of terrain, including farm tracks, river crossings, and shingle roads, providing participants with a varied running experience. Notable for its spectacular views, the route showcases the unique landscape of the area.
In addition to the half marathon, the event includes shorter options, featuring a flat, pushchair-friendly course known as the ‘Hole in One,’ which incorporates parts of a local golf course. This aspect may appeal to families and those looking for a less strenuous option.
The event is supported by the Fairlie Lions Club, highlighting its community involvement and local significance. Post-race amenities and activities will be available, allowing participants to relax and engage with fellow runners after completing their course. Details regarding these amenities, along with any updates on the event, will be provided as the date approaches.
