Sydney added to the World Marathon Majors


It was recently announced that the Sydney Marathon would become the 7th event in the World Marathon Majors.

The World Marathon Majors started in 2006 with five marathons - Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago & New York. Tokyo was added in 2013.

While the Majors has big prizes for elite athletes competing in the series, thousands of people set out on their own personal goal to complete the complete set. Now, Sydney is number seven before the bucket list is complete.

The Sydney Marathon had a record 20,272 finishers during its 2024 race. The next edition is on the 21st of August 2025.
