📣 REGISTRATIONS OPENING — SLIGHT DELAY

We were planning to open registrations for the 2027 Mackenzie Half Marathon tomorrow, 1 September, but unfortunately we’re going to need to push that back just a little.

A bit of sickness has hit behind the scenes, and rather than rush things, we want to make sure everything is ready and working properly before we hit the big green button!

Registrations will still be opening very soon — we’ll announce the new opening date as soon as we can.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. 💙

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Fairlie for the Mackenzie Half Marathon — 17 July 2027! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
