Get Ready to Take Off! Outback Air Race 2025
The Outback Air Race is set to soar again, with the next event scheduled from 22 August to 8 September 2025. This exciting race has a proud legacy, with the last event in September 2022 raising over $750,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service—an incredible achievement that highlights the passion and generosity of participants and supporters alike.
As we look forward to the 2025 race, anticipation is building for another remarkable journey across the Australian outback. Teams will take to the skies, navigating challenging routes, building camaraderie, and raising crucial funds for one of our country’s most important services.
Stay tuned for updates as we approach kickoff in August 2025. Whether you’re participating, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, the Outback Air Race promises adventure, community spirit, and positive impact for all involved
