WHY SYDNEY
The TCS Sydney Marathon is one of the most scenic and exciting marathons in the world — and as a proud member of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, it now stands alongside Berlin, London, Tokyo, Boston, Chicago and New York as one of the world’s six greatest races.
Starting line is at the Sydney Olympic Park, with the 42.2km course winding through some of Sydney’s most iconic precincts. The highlight every runner dream about is crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge at around the 9km mark, with sweeping views of the harbour stretching in every direction.
Run across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and finish at the Sydney Opera House.
The TCS Sydney Marathon is one of the fastest-growing marathons in the world.

Race Timing
Race timing in the Marathon is managed via the Real-Time-ChampionChip method. The ChampionChip is included as part of the race entry fee.
These chips must be returned by the runner immediately after crossing the finish line or within 2 hours after the event ends. They can be returned to six different locations in the finish area until 4:30 pm.
Signs marking every kilometre, as well as mile and five-mile points, are posted along the route. Large clocks displaying the current time are located every 5 km.
Race Packets
Electronic registration confirmations will be mailed to participants at the start of September, regardless of when the registration form was received.
Each participant will need to take the confirmation card along with a passport or photo ID to pick up their race bib, clothing bag, and other goodies from the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS.
All race bibs must be personally collected; it is not possible for a third party to collect them on the participant’s behalf.
Please note: Race numbers not picked up during the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show opening hours will expire without refund. There will be no other opportunity to collect them.
Bag Drop-Off Option
Please note there’s no bag drop at the start venue, so bags won’t be accepted on race day, but you’re welcome to drop off any post-race items in the days leading up to the event at the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show.
Wearing old clothing to stay warm? Simply place it in the clothing truck or a collection bin on your way into or within the start chute. Donated clothing goes to the St Vincent de Paul Society and Red Nose Australia.

Reviews
Liane and David Mandat
We absolutely love travelling with you and the entire ATT team. Somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like we were travelling with a tour group and started feeling like we were travelling with family. We really do feel like part of the ATT family now, and we are so grateful for that.
David was absolutely thrilled that you both ran your 45th marathon at the same event. What are the chances of that?! It made Sydney even more special.
Most of all, thank you for making that very first marathon possible and for everything that has come from it. We have met so many incredible people and made some genuinely wonderful friendships through our adventures with ATT. So many people who never would have come into our lives if we hadn’t taken that first trip with you.
Running has given us some incredible experiences, but the friendships, stories, laughs, ridiculous adventures and memories we’ve made along the way are what have made it truly special.
Thank you for always making us feel so welcome and for being such a special part of our family’s story.
Paula and Ramón Haen
It has truly been an outstanding experience for the both of us. The friendliness and hospitality from you and your team was unprecedented. We’re truly happy we chose ATT for this event. And we hope to join you sometime in the not-too-distant future again.
Thanks again and all the best with your new endeavours.
Lee Corey
I’ve done now 3 tours with Anna and the team at Adventure Time Travel; New York, Sydney and Berlin.rnEach experience has been a memorable one and well planned. You don’t have to worry about anything because the team has thought of it. I love that the group is small as you get to know everyone well whilst you’re away striving to achieve your individual goals. I love the friendships I’ve made each trip. Everyone with their own story, stories that motivate others and fuel the fire when you’re out there slogging the 42.2km.
