The Australian Outback Marathon team look after everyone so well. whether you are a competitor or a supporter you will have a wonderful time. Every detail is covered and staff are available from the time of booking to the event to assist you. What a way to meet new friends, see Uluru, immerse your self in indigenous culture and run a marathon. Wow....all experiences were exceptional. Dont know how you achieve the setting up! Inclusions of both lamb and barramundi were unexpected but delicious. Plenty of vegetables for healthy meals. Also to have drinks included on last night was a wonderful bonus As a spectator/ supporter we had a wonderful experience. Race day enabled us to feel really connected to and part of the event. We were kept warm, entertained and fed and we loved cheering competitors across the finish line. Thankyou

I've run in events all around Australia and The Australian Outback Marathon is a MUST for any Aussie runner or travelling runners looking for a uniquely Australian event. travelling fit organised amazing packages and were instrumental in making this trip AMAZING. The entry process was made easy, from initial booking, package upgrades (I upgraded a couple of months after booking) transfers, dinners and tours. I particularly loved the way the team embraced the local culture and guides shared local stories. I don't usually run events multiple times, but this one may be an exception.

After years of running other distances, my husband and i wanted to sign up for our first full marathon. The Australian Outback Marathon had been on my bucket list for almost a decade, and we decided to go for it and book a package. Yulara and the surrounding landscape is stunningly beautiful and this experience allowed us to reconnect with nature in a pretty special way. I love all of the larger city races, but this event was truly exceptional. I wish Every aussie runner could have the experience of racing with the red earth beneath their feet. Uluru really does feel like the heart of Australia, and It was certainly a highlight of the course. Every gathering, from the carb loading dinner, to race day, and the final celebration dinner was so much fun. We enjoyed mingling with our fellow runners and making new memories. The celebration dinner was a standout moment and perfect way to conclude the weekend. Overall, this trip reminded me how lucky we are to live in this beautiful country. Book this trip if you’re thinking about it. You won’t regret it!

Hi to the whole Travelling Fit Team Just wanted to say thank you for THE most amazing experience at the Australian Outback Marathon. Both Tina and I were blown away by the scenery, the attention to detail, amazing food and how well everything was coordinated. I have travelled extensively around the world and I would say the Outback was the most amazing experience of them all. A great combination of mind blowing scenery, the indigenous spirituality, the great hikes and the run itself. The attention to detail- having heaters at the start line, wheelie bins in the middle of no where so the landscape is preserved as just a couple of examples. And as for food- we ate like Kings- barramundi, steak, the best lamb cutlets, buffets. Well done everyone. Can’t wait to book another trip. Many thanks

Both myself and my partner Hannah had such an enjoyable experience. The hotel was in a perfect location both for the race and to explore the city. Super thankful for the pre and post race dinners offered in the package, as well as the opportunity to bring a supporter along. As a graduate of the Indigenous Marathon Project, I am deeply grateful for the relationship the foundation has with Travelling Fit and being given the opportunity to chase my goal of completing the Six World Majors. The Travelling Fit Team on the ground were amazing - a big thank you to them too 🙂

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.
