SYDNEY MARATHON
A World-Class Race at Your Doorstep
Every year, Sydney comes alive with the energy, spirit, and determination of thousands of runners taking on one of the most scenic races in the world. In 2026, the Sydney Marathon will be more significant than ever. As the newest addition to the Abbott World Marathon Majors, it joins the ranks of iconic races like New York, London, and Tokyo.
