Sydney, renowned for its iconic landmarks and vibrant culture, is bustling with excitement as it prepares to host the highly anticipated Sydney Marathon on Sunday 17th September 2023. With its breathtaking course, diverse race options, and world-class attractions, the city is set to provide an unforgettable experience for runners and spectators alike.
The Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS, has become one of the fastest growing, and most scenic races in the world. Competitors will run across the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge before finishing at the steps of the iconic Sydney Opera House. No city in the world has a better combination of natural beauty, love of sport, and celebrated infrastructure for hosting a marathon than Sydney.
It is this reason that the Sydney Marathon has emerged as a candidate race for the Abbott World Marathon Majors. If successful, Sydney Marathon will join an esteemed group of races, Tokyo Marathon, Boston Marathon, TCS London Marathon, BMW-Berlin Marathon, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, and TCS New York City Marathon as the most prestigious marathons in the world.
If the full 26 miles appears too daunting, Sydney Marathon also offers a more relaxing Half-Marathon, 10km event and 3.5km Family Run, all still routed along the famous landmarks that are synonymous with Sydney, making the day perfect for runners of all types.
