2025 Sydney Marathon

The Sydney Marathon began as a race following the 2000 Sydney Olympics and typically took place on the second week of September. When the race was announced as the seventh World Marathon Major, the date was moved to the end of August.^[2]

Notable hilly climbs along the course, including Sydney's Oxford Street make for physically challenging conditions. The weather for the race typically is slightly warm adding to the challenging conditions, however the usual light winds are favorable for runners.^[3][4]

The Sydney Marathon began on August 31 at 6:30am local time.
