Abbott World Marathon Majors is launching the largest ever initiative in its history to help runners complete their Six Star Journey.
In 2023, up to 2,000 places across all six Abbott World Marathon Majors will be made available for members of AbbottWMM.com to advance their mission to join the Six Star Finisher Hall of Fame. There are currently 8,067 Six Star Finishers on record.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of runners from around the world enter the lotteries or qualification process for the Majors. As the interest and competition for a starting place continues to grow, so does the number of runners collecting their AbbottWMM stars and striving for their finishers’ medal.
Selection processes for the three 2023 spring Majors will begin following the conclusion of the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon.
Dawna Stone, AbbottWMM CEO said: “The Abbott World Marathon Majors are events that inspire and touch people all over the world. It is a challenge that takes runners many years to complete and is considered by most in our global community as the pinnacle of their marathon journey. These bib allotments will help provide pathways for many runners to complete their Six Star journeys.”
