Sydney Marathon Joins Elite Ranks as 7th Abbott World Marathon Major

Sydney Marathon Joins Elite Ranks as 7th Abbott World Marathon Major

Dawna Stone, CEO of the Abbott World Marathon Majors reported that she was glad to have the Sydney in the line-up and appreciated great efforts of the Sydney event organizers towards that change.

 

“We cannot wait to see our community embrace this race as a major and start planning their visits to run the streets of one of the finest cities in the world. Runners, your Sydney star awaits,” Stone said, “The team in Sydney has been working towards this day, every day, for more than three years, and to see the improvement in their operations and event experience to the point where we can now call them a major has been deeply impressive.”

 

This marathon has expanded since its inception with quite an infamous course that runs around Sydney Harbour and has all that is famous of the Sydney city. Originally conceived as a legacy of the 2000 Olympic Games, in its first year the event attracted only 1,200 finishers. This popular cross country race has now attracted tens of thousands of participants from all parts of the globe. The progressive acclimatization of the marathon is indicative of Sydney’s gradual emergence as an elite ‘endurance’ city.

 

Currently, the Cape Town and the Shanghai marathons are being looked at in order to be part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors; this is likely to increase even further after the promotion of Sydney. If both races pass a two-year evaluation procedure then both could be promoted into the premier division in as early as 2026 or 2027.

 

New South Wales expect that more than 33,000 individuals are going to run the Sydney Marathon that is planned for 31st of August in 2025. Superior status, as authorities pointed out, will bring tourism and provide 73 million AUD ($48 million) for the subsequent three years. Sydney is one of the most beloved Australian cities with over 5 million inhabitants that will be waiting to host international runners during the vacation time.
