The Tatt’s Finke Desert Race is truly legendary and is perhaps the most revered event on the entire Australian dirt bike schedule. There are so many incredible things that make Finke unique but perhaps it is the mystique of it all that has fueled the legend. Finke is held on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June every year on a track that stretches 226km south from Alice Springs to the community of Apatula on the Finke River that is said to be the oldest river bed in the world. Situated on the western edge of the Simpson Desert and just a short distance to geographical centre of Australia, it’s unique, beautiful and remote.
The race began as the There and Back race for the locals in 1976 but has grown in popularity to now be the biggest sporting event in the Northern Territory
