TCS Sydney Marathon 2025

Hey mate... C'mon, Sydney is waiting for you! 😜

The largest metropolis in Australia, also known as Sydney, invites you to a unique and festive atmosphere that happens only once a year 🎊. This year, the event celebrates its 26th edition 🎂. But more importantly, the TCS Sydney Marathon celebrates its first year as a World Majors! 🥳 This can be seen as an inaugural edition of one of the most iconic road races 🤯. So, at the end of August, drop everything and head to the land of kangaroos! 🦘

The TCS Sydney Marathon is the largest running event in Australia, and now one of the 7 largest in the world! 🌍 This true festival includes four distinct races: the marathon, the 10 km, the Mini Marathon of 5 km 🧒, and a wheelchair race 🧑‍🦽‍➡️. With such a variety of events, there's no excuse not to join the 40,000 other participants from over 102 different countries 😝. You'll start at Miller Street in North Sydney 📍. You'll embark on one of the world's most scenic marathons, taking in some of Sydney's most beautiful historical sites, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and your finish line: the Opera House 🎶. You'll run through this cosmopolitan city with its thousand colors 🎨, all to the rhythm of music and the many attractions along the way! 🎸 Experience the vibrant energy of this metropolis and get into its good vibes... "I’m pickin’ up good vibrations" sang the Beach Boys 🏄. Also, enjoy its summer spirit... 😎 Between the sunshine and its sea breeze 🌊, this beautiful Australian city offers rather mild and pleasant weather for running! 🏃

And why not add a bit of sightseeing to complete your adventure? 🤠 Before or after your race, explore north of the city to the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge 🌉. By the way, it's best to avoid climbing it like young Kenneth Jones did in 1932, scaling 🧗 its 134 meters by hand... Just a friendly tip 🤓. Then walk through The Rocks district with its streets full of historical anecdotes, built upon the arrival of British settlers in the 18th century ⚔️. Pass by the renowned Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) 🖼️. Opened in 1991, this famous contemporary art museum houses nearly 4,000 artworks in its permanent collection! Also discover the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Allianz Stadium (formerly the Aussie Stadium). Two monumental venues in Australian sports. The first being the iconic stadium of the cricket team, the New South Wales 💙. The stadium also hosts many rugby matches, the national sport! 🏉 Oh St Mary’s Cathedral! ⛪️ Built by the Sydney Catholic community in 1868 in honor of the Virgin Mary 🙏. You'll have the opportunity to see it at the end of your marathon. It will take your breath away one last time before your finish. But how can we talk about Sydney without mentioning the iconic Opera House? This masterpiece by Danish architect Jørn Utzon also has its French touch 🇫🇷. Indeed, during its 14 years of construction, three cranes essential for its construction were imported from France. Quite mind-blowing 😵‍💫.

So if you're tempted, know that these spots are just waiting to be explored, either before or even after the TCS Sydney Marathon! Admit it... You're already picturing yourself there! 😉
