More than 40,000 runners from 162 countries. Four lead-up days of live music, fan experiences and big-screen race coverage. Shakeout runs and after-parties right on one of the world’s most famous harbours. If there was ever a time to visit Sydney as a runner, this is it – the Sydney Marathon is now in its second year as a World Major and drew a record-breaking 123,000 entries from around the world. In other words: if you’re one of the fortunate few to get a place in next weekend’s 26.2, make the most of it (and good luck).
Even if you don’t have a place, you’ll still feel the buzz if you’re in or around Sydney over the next week. From sunrise bridge climbs over the harbour to the city’s hottest new superyacht restaurant, here’s what to add to your bucket list while you’re in town.
