Booking your place in the Australian Outback marathon is extremely simple. All you need to do is follow these simple steps to create the package that suit you and your perfect trip to Uluru and the Australian Outback Marathon awaits.
Once you have these sorted, fill out the booking form and your trip is all ready to go. All that remains is to book your flights, do some training and an amazing experience will be all yours.
This always a very personal choice and one that you don’t have to lock yourself into at the time of booking. It is important to remember that this is an experience, and that every participant, no matter the distance, is acknowledged for their achievement.
There are four distances to choose from:
All 4 distances contain a mix of graded roads, hard tracks and some softer sandy sections, a real Outback Experience.
It is important to note that you can change your race distance and get your name printed on your bib up to a month before the race. If you feel you need to change your distance, either up or down, you can also do this the day before the race itself, although you may need to surrender the bib with your name on it.
