Thank you! What a great place to do your first one! The vibes are going to be good this year 💪

Great to see you posting again :) Can't wait to see your next marathon journey!

I'm intrigued 😮

Glad they have moved the start. Way too many people to try to leave from Milsons Point. It took me 28 minutes to cross the start line. There was good atmosphere in Centennial Park in 23, the heat on that day was so overwhelming it really affected everyone's enjoyment.

28 minutes is just crazy! Good to hear about Centennial Park, hopefully that atmosphere just keeps getting better (and the weather is kinder this year…)

I'm arriving back in Sydney on my second year working visa in August and will be running this marathon I can't wait 😊 I just watched the London marathon but didn't run it so this will be my first 🥇

All the best for September!

I been WAITING for someone to make a video on this! I have told so many running friends I have no idea how Sydney would become a major marathon with all those out and backs as its not what a world major is about.... These changes look SO much better, only a same you can't head up a different road prior to centennial back as those long stretches of seeing running go the other way is brutal! Really stepped up their game with this!

Thank you! Totally agree, I’ve had big question marks too, but this is so much better. Would love to have been sat in the room as they came up with this and hear what the other options were!

What no half marathon? Guess I’ll have to be doing the 10km this year 😢

hai, im from indonesia, im planning to do my first marathon in sydney 2024. i just received email from sydney marathon that says the marathon starting time will be at 6:00 am. is that going to be a problem if i using public transport to reach the starting point? i never been to sydney before

Hey! Sydney Marathon are great at working with the city to make sure that there's public transport to the start line. There will be thousands of people in the same position! As long as you're staying reasonably central in Sydney it shouldn't be a problem at all :)

@@MarathonHarry thank youu for your response!

It still won't become a major in 2025, but at least a step in the right direction. Definitely needs to be in August as too hot in September for non-australians.

Looking forward to seeing if this is correct next year..!
