The Australian Outback Marathon had been on my bucket list for a few years. I was so pleased I was able to sneak away between lockdowns and spend 6 days with the Travelling Fit team and the group of happy runners I met there. I absolutely loved the marathon. It was hot, it was sandy, it was stunning, it was peaceful, it was challenging, it was cathartic, it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Combined with the marathon, all the activities and tours over the 6 days made it the complete package of what a holiday should be. I could not recommend this trip more highly. Well organised, great new running friends, stunning scenery and memories that will last forever. Thank you!

If you only get a chance to run one race then this is the one to do, it should be on everyone's bucket list. We were told before the run to take time to enjoy the run and stop to take photos and look around and enjoy it, this is something I have never done on a run before but it was the best advice ever.

Frank and I had the most magical time during the AOM. Incredible views no matter which way you looked, Great accommodation, the way the AOM's incredibly experienced team just 'made' things happen. The Tours, especially the Kings Canyon tour, create those never to be forgotten' memories that stay etched in us - as does the red earth course we traversed during the event. Thank you so much 'Team AOM' for this fabulous experience.

If you haven't run the AOM you really should put this one on your list! It can only be described as an adjective salad! Amazing, unique and awe inspiring are only the tip of the iceberg... it was an absolutely incredible experience from beginning to end. Travelling Fit is a class act and continues to exceed all my expectations. It was simply fantastic!

In 2019 I took a chance and booked for the Australian Outback Marathon with Travelling Fit. I was a bit apprehensive about bringing my son and his young family along with me as I felt the kids might have to miss out on a lot of the "adult" activities. I was wrong. This was THE MOST AMAZING and mind-blowing experience we have had as a family. I can't praise the whole trip highly enough. The food was absolutely amazing, the staff were great, the accommodation was perfect and the race was unbelievable. I get emotional when I think about it, and can't imagine having another experience like this again. Everyone loved it, the food was AMAZING, activities and transfers were so well organized, there was plenty to do and it really wasn't that cold! If you have the chance to do this or are undecided, do it! I'll be going back. Thank you Travelling Fit for one of the top ten experiences of my life so far.

I just want to thank you and the rest of the Travelling Fit team for a fantastic weekend last week at Yulara. I had the best weekend that I have ever had. I have never been to a place where everyone made me feel so welcome. It was the first time that I've been to the Northern Territory so the heat,flies,sand and camels eating our signs made it so special to me. I loved all the jokes from everyone, even the bus driver who was taking us to the airport told us that we was going to Darwin and the lady bus driver on the drop on drop off bus told us at a stop at Uluru and people running towards her that if she drives forward they would run harder so then she drives forward. There were so many more. I loved all the dinners. I don't eat out much so they made me feel special. The marathon yes was hard but I loved every minute of it. It didn't help that it was snowing at home for the 2 weeks before. I do want to run it again and I would like it the same you couldn't fault it. Thanks so much

The support Travelling Fit and the Outback Marathon team provided was touching. I would like to applaud you all for the fantastic environment you have nurtured over race years. The camaraderie and encouragement between runners and support staff was unbelievable and unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
HOW FAR IS IT FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE AYERS ROCK RESORT?

Connellan Airport (Ayers Rock Airport) is six kilometres from the Ayers Rock Resort and it takes about 10 minutes to transfer between the two.

If you are arriving on a scheduled flight, airport transfers are included as part of your itinerary.

Mobile phones will work at Ayers Rock resort and for approximately a 20km radius around the resort. This means that your phone WILL work at Uluru but you MAY NOT get coverage at Kata Tjuta. If you do not have a mobile phone but want to get one for your stay, pre-paid mobile phones can be purchased from the Post Office situated in the shopping precinct.

Yes, there is free wireless internet at all of the hotels for all guests.

Our private coaches will be operating a shuttle service all day to and from from the race start/finish area back to the resort so that you can leave whenever you have finished your event.

All participants are encouraged to remain at the finish, however, to cheer in those runners who have elected to enjoy the wondrous scenery for just a little longer.

A good idea is to hop on the shuttle, go back to your hotel to freshen up and then hop back on the shuttle to go back to the finishing line to cheer in the last participants.
