Map of Northern Territory Running Events
What running events are on in the Northern Territory? Fewer than in the southern capitals, and the ones that are listed are destination races. Dates to know include The Track Outback Race on 12 May 2027, the West Macs Monster on 14 May 2027, Darwin Runners Walker on 18 July 2027, the Australian Outback Marathon on 31 July 2027 and Run Larapinta on 19 August 2027. Darwin’s own list is shorter still, and it is on the Darwin running events page.
Major Northern Territory races
These are the events currently listed for the Territory. Open each page for the distances on offer. Do not assume a city 10km is hiding further down the page.
- The Track Outback Race (12 May 2027): an outback race, so read the logistics before you enter.
- West Macs Monster (14 May 2027): a West MacDonnell race two days later.
- Darwin Runners Walker (18 July 2027): the Darwin listing on this calendar. The event page has the details under that name.
- Australian Outback Marathon (31 July 2027): the outback marathon most runners mean when they search the Territory.
- Run Larapinta (19 August 2027): a Larapinta trail race later in the dry season.
These are not a weekly fun-run circuit. Leave travel time around the race, and open the event page on RunDais for the current entry link.
Northern Territory races by distance
Use the distance lists below when you already know the race you want. The Australian Outback Marathon is the named marathon. The West Macs Monster, The Track and Run Larapinta belong in the trail and ultra lists, not in a city road list. If a distance section is empty, that distance is not on the Territory calendar right now.
Trending events on this page are the ones people have been opening on RunDais over the last 30 days.
