Magnetic Island Run

Have you ever wanted to do an overseas run?

The magnetic Island run starts from the Nelly Bay terminal after the 7.05am ferry from Townsville arrives (at about 7.30am) on Saturday the 14th October 2017.

If you are going over to Magnetic Island on the day of the run, then the 7.05 ferry will give a discount if you show ID (drivers licence) indicating that you are a Townsville local.  No Townsville ID, then no discount.

This event consists of any one of four runs, all finishing at Horseshoe Bay, where there will be tea / coffee etc. There is no timing or placings for this event.  Register on the day at the start.

Why not stay over for the week end, or longer and enjoy all the attractions that Magnetic Island has to offer.
