The Sydney Marathon is a marathon held annually in Sydney, Australia. The event was first held on the 30th of April 2000 and called The Host City Marathon as a test event for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, and has continued every year since, as a legacy of the 2000 Summer Olympics. The marathon is categorized as a Platinum Label Road Race by World Athletics. Previously held in the middle of September, the race moved to late August from 2025, as part of its elevation to the World Marathon Majors.
The Sydney Marathon also includes a 10K run, and a 5 km (3.1 mi) race.
