TCS Sydney Marathon 2026

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

The largest metropolis in Australia, aka Sydney, invites you to a unique and festive atmosphere that only happens once a year 🎊. This year, the event celebrates its 27th edition 🎂. But more than anything, the TCS Sydney Marathon celebrates its second year as a World Majors! 🥳 So we can consider this edition as a sort of confirmation of the Sydney Marathon as one of the world’s most iconic road races 🤯. So at the end of August, we stop 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 biggest in the world! 🌍 This real festival includes four distinct events, namely the marathon, the 10 km, the Mini Marathon of 5 km 🧒, and a wheelchair race 🧑‍🦽‍➡️. With such a choice of events, there's no reason not to be part of the 40,000 other participants from over 102 different countries 😝. You'll start at Miller Street in North Sydney 📍. You will embark on one of the world's most scenic marathons, admiring some of the most beautiful historical sites in Sydney, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and your finish line: the Opera House 🎶. You will tread the streets of this cosmopolitan city of a thousand colors 🎨, all to the rhythm of the music and numerous activities along the route! 🎸 Discover the lively atmosphere of this metropolis brimming with energy to soak up its good vibes... "I’m pickin’ up good vibrations" sang the Beach Boys 🏄. Also, enjoy its summery character... 😎 With the sun and its sea breeze 🌊, the beautiful Australian city offers rather mild and pleasant weather conditions for running! 🏃

And why not a bit of sightseeing to complete your adventure? 🤠 Before or after your race, discover in the north of the city the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge 🌉. By the way, we advise you to avoid climbing it like little Kenneth Jones in 1932, who amused himself by climbing 🧗 these 134 meters high bare-handed... Just a precaution 🤓. Then cross through the district of The Rocks with its streets full of historical anecdotes, built upon the arrival of British settlers in the 18th century ⚔️. Then, pass by the famous Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) 🖼️. Opened in 1991, this famous contemporary art museum has nearly 4,000 works in its permanent collection! Also discover the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Allianz Stadium (formerly the Aussie Stadium). Two monuments of Australian sports. The first is the emblematic stadium of the cricket team, the New South Wales 💙. The stadium also hosts numerous rugby matches, the national sport! 🏉 Oh St Mary’s Cathedral! ⛪️ Built by the Catholic community of Sydney in 1868 in honor of the Virgin Mary 🙏. You'll have the opportunity to discover it at the end of your marathon. It will take your breath away one last time before your finish. But how to talk about Sydney without mentioning the mythical Opera House? The work of the Danish architect Jorn Utzon, it also has its French touch 🇫🇷. Indeed, during the 14 years of construction, three cranes necessary for its construction were imported specially from France. Enough to make you dizzy 😵‍💫.

So if you feel like it, know that these spots are just waiting to be visited before or even after the TCS Sydney Marathon! Because admit it... You can already picture yourself there! 😉
