RACE HISTORY
The TCS Sydney Marathon is a World Athletics Platinum Label event and is the sole remaining participant legacy of the Sydney 2000 Olympic games.
The marathon course takes runners across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and also features notable sights such as Circular Quay and Centennial Park, before a finish in front of the world-famous Sydney Opera House.
The race is the largest marathon in the continent of Australasia having seen exponential growth since becoming a candidate to join the Abbott World Marathon Majors, which is predicted to continue now that the race has official Majors status.
The 2024 edition was the largest ever held in Australia and on the continent of Oceania, and is expected to continue its growth at a rapid pace after becoming the seventh Abbott World Marathon Major.
