Abbott World Marathon Majors are leading and growing a community of marathon runners around the globe.
The Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) is a series of seven of the largest and most renowned marathons in the world - Tokyo Marathon, Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America, TCS London Marathon, TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS, BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, Bank of America Chicago Marathon and TCS New York City Marathon.
Encompassing an annual series for elite runners and elite wheelchair athletes, AbbottWMM also applauds the achievements and passion of everyday champions from around the world. The AbbottWMM Star System is an online results hub that celebrates every runner on their journey through the Majors. Runners completing all six original Majors are awarded the Six Star medal.
With the addition of the Sydney Marathon in 2025, and the ongoing candidacies of the Sanlam Cape Town and Shanghai Marathons, AbbottWMM is also planning to add the Nine Star medal as the next milestone for the global community to aim at.
