2026 TCS Sydney Marathon
The TCS Sydney Marathon is the 7th Abbott World Marathon Major, the first Major in the Southern Hemisphere. The point-to-point course runs from North Sydney to the Opera House Forecourt, accumulating 313 meters of elevation gain, making it the hilliest of all seven Majors. The course crosses the Harbour Bridge, goes through Anzac Parade and Centennial Park, and finishes with the demanding Mrs Macquarie's Chair climb at km 38-40.
Sydney in late winter means crisp, sunny mornings perfect for a long run, and this course delivers postcard views from the Harbour Bridge to the Opera House. After you cross the finish line, wander through the Rocks for a flat white and a meat pie, or take a ferry to Manly for fish and chips by the sea. With the city gearing up for spring, you'll dodge the peak crowds and still catch the tail end of whale-watching season.
