The Mackay Isaac Region is gearing up for a summer of active and exciting fun for kids aged 5 to 12 as the highly anticipated Kids Triathlon Summer Tri-Series returns to the Mackay Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC).

This three-part series, now in its sixth year, is designed to encourage young participants to get active, build confidence, and have a great time while engaging in healthy competition.

The 2023 Mackay Marina Run was a testament to the power of determination, as runners pushed their limits, celebrated personal victories, and left an indelible mark on the course.

Mackay’s stunning Pioneer Valley played host to the Corry Cycles ZACH MACH Adventure Challenge on Saturday 6 May 2023. Featuring four stages of intense adventure activity - a 40km MTB, 10km kayak, 10km trail run and 30km road cycle - the event attracted over 100 adventure-seekers from across the country, but it was the Junior Pairs category that stole the show.

Adventure challenges vary from race to race and participants enter as an individual competitor, pair or as a team. The challenges faced by competitors have caused multisport adventure racing to grow in popularity across the world.

Adventure racing can include mountain biking, kayaking, road cycling, trail running and orienteering. Mackay's ZACH MACH Adventure Challenge, held across an entire weekend includes all of these sporting disciplines.

The final event in the 3 part Tri-ActiV8 Kids Tri-Series was held last Sunday 11 December at the MARC (Mackay Aquatic & Recreation Centre) with 76 kids completing either a triathlon or aquathlon.

The Queensland Junior Super Sprint Race Weekend consisted of three days of fast and furious racing on the Gold Coast. Find out how our Juniors went in this type of racing!

Paradise has never been so exciting! Tomorrow, we have a tribe embarking on Hamilton Island to take on the final Endurance Event of 2022 – the TRI! 16 Solo athletes, 6 teamies and a further couple stepping up for Sunday’s Ocean Swim.
