Run for MI Life Fun Run MACKAY
Run for MI Life Fun Run MACKAY is a community fundraising run in Walkerston, Queensland, held at the Western Suburbs Leagues Club on 18 October 2026. The event is held in memory of a local man who died by suicide in October 2012 and aims to change perceptions of depression and suicide and reduce related stigma. Funds raised remain in the local area to support programs, training courses and initiatives that promote mental health and community connectedness.
Since the first run in 2014 the event has been held in three locations, has attracted thousands of participants and has raised close to A$500,000 for local mental health work. The event offers in-person distance options and a virtual run that may be completed between 1 October and 18 October 2026. Race pack collection takes place the day before the event at St Johns School Hall in Walkerston.
