Enjoy the 6km Run at the Australian Outback Marathon

Next Australian Outback 6km Fun Run is 28 July, 2012 – Run it!


The incredible atmosphere of the Australian Outback Marathon is not just for full marathoners. Open to all levels of runners, the 6km running event is one of a kind. By running on part of the same route as the full marathon runners, you’ll experience the same RUSH! Not to mention the same spectacular scenery.

Whether you are running the full marathon, the half, 11km or the 6km, the views of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) are enjoyed by all. The red dirt underfoot is unique to the Australian Outback and unique to this running event. Make sure you’re a part of it!

Our itineraries and travel packages suit any budget including 6 night stays in a luxury hotel. All packages include guaranteed race entry, first class accommodation, shuttle services and more.

6km Fun Run Course

6km Route in Green

6km Route in Green

The Australian Outback 6km Fun Run/Walk course will be off-road, made up of bush trails and graded, unsealed roads. The running surface will consist of the famous “red earth” that can be found all over central Australia, and stunning views of Uluru (Ayers Rock) are waiting for you around almost every corner.

Setting off in a North-Easterly direction, you will have approximately 1km of graded road to navigate before turning into a “soft red earth” outback trail that central Australia is so famous for. After approximately 2 1/2 km you take a right turn onto another outback track where you will start to get some spectacular views of Uluru. Opened specifically for the Australian Outback Marathon, this 3 1/2km looping track has some of the best vantage points on the entire course. Don’t forget to look up as you traverse over the top of the sand-dunes.

After 5km you hit the main track back to the finish area to collect your reward, enjoy the views and tuck into your well-earned breakfast.
