The TCS Sydney Marathon is a 42.195 km road marathon held in Sydney. The 2027 event takes place on Sunday, 29 August and holds a World Athletics Platinum label. The course starts on Miller Street in North Sydney and finishes at the Sydney Opera House, with a recorded elevation gain of +313 m and a net drop of -83 m.
The event includes elite wheelchair and mass participation fields and applies a 7 hour cut off. Organisers use a public ballot for general entry and also offer places through charity partner and travel partner programs. Entry fees for successful ballot applicants in 2027 were charged to the applicant's bank card at the time of confirmation.
Race operations include colour coded assembly groups named Purple, Green and Orange and a separate High Performance assembly group. Transport guidance is provided for trains, metro, light rail and buses, with advice that road closures will heavily impact driving and bus services. Accessible drop off and dedicated local drop off locations are noted for participants requiring assistance.
On-course services mentioned in the event materials include drink stations, gel and electrolyte stations, spectator zones and a race app offering live tracking and official maps. Ancillary events include a Running Show and a multi day Motion Festival around Circular Quay. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
