Background and Context

The Abbott World Marathon Majors is a prestigious series comprising the world's leading marathons: Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, and Tokyo. Sydney's addition as the seventh member in 2025 is the culmination of a rigorous multi-year assessment process, making it the first Major in the Southern Hemisphere. This elevation reflects Sydney's commitment to hosting world-class sporting events and its appeal as a global destination. (athletics.com.au)

The 2025 Sydney Marathon attracted elite athletes, including Olympic champions Sifan Hassan and Eliud Kipchoge. Hassan set a course record in the women's race with a time of 2:18:22, while Ethiopian runner Hailemaryam Kiros won the men's race in 2:06:06, also a course record. Kipchoge, at 40, finished ninth, highlighting the competitive nature of the event. (reuters.com)

Sydney's inclusion in the AbbottWMM is projected to have substantial economic benefits. Destination NSW estimates an additional $73 million in visitor expenditure over the next three years, with a potential boost of up to $300 million over the next decade. This influx is expected to come from increased international participation and tourism, as runners and spectators from around the world visit Sydney for the marathon. (nsw.gov.au)
