The Sydney Marathon is one of the world’s most scenic marathon courses in one of the world's great cities. Taking in some of Sydney’s spectacular and historic landmarks including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House this is a must-run race.
Sydney was a candidate city for the Abbott World Marathon Majors in 2023 and after rave reviews for its delivery of the event that year it has one more year of candidacy, in 2024, before it can be considered for full membership of the world's biggest marathon club, which currently includes Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.
Of course, there are no guarantees that it will pass all the criteria to join the Abbott World Marathon Majors but things are looking very positive and if the experience of Tokyo - the last city to join the club - is anything to go by, Sydney might become a more difficult and expensive event for international runners to enter after 2024. So run while you can.
