Australian Outback Marathon and Half Marathon

Not just a running event - a unique experience Don’t just run a race, experience a truly unique Australian running event – The Australian Outback Marathon! Feel the kilometres slip by as you take in the awe-inspiring sight of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). This inspiring backdrop will encourage you to work through ‘the burn’ and achieve something truly special. The Australian Outback Marathon has four running events; the full marathon, half marathon, 11km run and 6km run which all use sections of the same course. The terrain varies throughout the course; with most on unsealed roads, bush trails and tracks. The ‘red earth’ route takes runners on a journey through Australia’s Outback with stunning views of Ayers Rock. The entire course is relatively flat from a topographical point of view but there are a few little inclines here and there. A couple of short sand-dunes also make an appearance and whilst they are not long or high they will certainly feel like a challenge when running up them. Like most adventure marathons around the world, the varying terrain does not measure to AIMS standards… Just so you know!
