Sydney to Become Seventh World Major Marathon in 2025
Briefly

The Sydney Marathon will join the ranks of New York, London, and Berlin as the seventh world major marathon, advancing after a three-year assessment.
Sydney's marathon earned the elite major status by surpassing 20,000 finishers during its 2024 race, showcasing impressive growth in participation and event operations.
With the increase in entries from 5,000 in 2022 to a projected 33,000 in 2025, the Sydney Marathon has seen remarkable interest and growth.
This addition makes Sydney the first new major marathon since Tokyo was added in 2013, expanding the roster to potentially include future cities like Cape Town.
