The TCS Sydney Marathon, newly inducted into the Abbott World Marathon Majors in 2024, stands as Australia’s largest marathon and the only Major held in the southern hemisphere. This World Athletics Platinum Label race traces the historic route of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Marathon, beginning in North Sydney and culminating at the iconic Sydney Opera House. The course offers runners a scenic journey through some of Sydney’s most picturesque and vibrant areas, combining challenging stretches with breathtaking waterfront views. Since becoming a Major candidate in 2022, the event has seen rapid growth and is projected to welcome a record 35,000 participants from over 120 countries in 2025. It remains the only Australian running event to be broadcast live annually and has contributed over $28 million to charitable causes, including a remarkable $1.8 million raised in early 2025 alone.
