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.
We offer a 4 or 5-night land only package and can book flight and hotels in the Gateway Cities of Cairns or Sydney on request. Or simply choose one of the Uluru land only packages for the race and build your own independent holiday around it and discover this amazing continent of a country - you could even continue on to New Zealand and on around the World - all things are possible.
SAILS IN THE DESERT*****
In the heart of Australia's Red Centre, Sails in the Desert hotel beautifully contrasts Uluru's raw natural beauty with a decidedly luxurious outback holiday experience.
Soaring white sails crown Ayers Rock Resort's Sails in the Desert hotel, shading 228 luxury five-star rooms and suites.
In a destination where one of the world's oldest cultures still thrives, the mystery, colour and wisdom of the local Anangu people are interwoven into every facet of Sails in the Desert's modern design. More than luxury accommodation, Sails in the Desert hotel is a destination of exploration and indulgence.
Sails in the Desert's stunning Mulgara Gallery takes you on an exploration through the unique styles and breathtaking stories of Indigenous art. Find each of your senses lulled into complete relaxation as you give in to one of the Red Ochre Spa's treatments.
Sails in the Desert hotel features an expansive gumtree lined swimming pool and a diversity of modern dining, bar and lounge options. Awaken your taste buds with Mayu's signature à la carte dining experience, relax and feast in the brasserie-style Ilkari Restaurant or let time tick by as you enjoy cocktails, music and culinary temptations in the Walpa Lobby Bar.
DESERT GARDENS HOTEL****
Magnificent ghost gums and flowering native shrubs are the setting for this hotel. Voyages Desert Gardens Hotel is centrally located to all resort and touring facilities and offers a range of accommodation, from shaded poolside rooms to deluxe rooms overlooking the desert.
You can relax in the comfort of your own private balcony or courtyard, or unwind in the hotel's pool, sipping cocktails from the Bunya bar.
It's only a short stroll to the Resorts' numerous lookouts, where you can view what is arguably Australia's best sunset, with the spectacular play of colours across the face of Uluru and the surrounding desert.
(Please ensure you check your departure time before booking these tours)
OPTIONAL ADD-ON TOURS

Both are flight Gateway Cities with flight links to Connellan Airport for Ayres Rock and you could have a trip that starts with Sydney, on to Ayres Rock and back to Cairns/Port Douglas for the Great Barrier Reef.
