2021 Mackay Mountain Marathon

Welcome to the annual Mackay Mountain Marathon! 

Whether you are looking for a fun family adventure or an extreme MTB/run challenge this event, set in Eungella national park, is sure to satisfy. Pedal or run your way through lush rainforest on a winding single track crossing platypus inhabited creeks and rivers. Then head out to tackle challenging fire roads in the back country before making your way back to finish above the clouds and on top of the world!

Why not make a weekend of it? We have planned family events and entertainment on the Saturday evening and encourage all participants to camp out with us at the Eungella cricket oval Saturday night.  Eungella National Park is situated 80km west of Mackay.  

The MMM is a mountain bike and running festival catering for all ages and skill levels. The event will start and finish at Eungella. There will be 3 components to the Mountain Bike adventure all of which will be held on Sunday morning.
