The running world is buzzing with excitement as the Sydney Marathon has officially joined the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors, a club that includes renowned races like New York, London, Tokyo, and Berlin! After a rigorous three-year candidacy period, the announcement came after a record-breaking attendance at the recent marathon, where a whopping 25,000 enthusiastic runners took to the scenic streets of Sydney. This elevation not only highlights the incredible growth of the event but also places a spotlight on Australia as a bustling hub for distance running.

Meanwhile, across the globe in New York City, the TCS New York City Marathon had its own set of thrilling dramas. Abdi Nageeye from the Netherlands sprinted past his competitors, clinching his first NYC marathon title with a remarkable time of 2:07:39. He was not alone in his triumph as Sheila Chepkirui from Kenya emerged victorious in the women's race, finishing strong with a time of 2:24:35. Both racers showcased their elite endurance and speed, making it a race to remember for fans and participants alike.

The 2024 NYC Marathon wasn’t just about the elite runners; it also marked a historic moment in wheelchair racing. For the first time ever, both the men's and women's wheelchair events were claimed by American racers, setting the stage for more thrilling competition in the future. It’s clear that the marathon spirit is alive and well in the Big Apple, as Conner Mantz led the American men and Sara Vaughn surged up the ranks to keep the energy soaring.

As Sydney steps into the world of major marathons, it promises to draw top-tier athletes seeking to compete at the highest level. The addition of the Sydney Marathon as a member of the World Marathon Majors is expected to make it an epic event on the global racing calendar. With its beautiful scenery and enthusiastic local support, it's about to become a must-run for both international elites and local legends.

Did you know? The NYC Marathon is one of the largest marathons in the world, with a history dating back to 1970! Additionally, with the rise of the Sydney Marathon, Australia now has its feet firmly planted on the world marathon stage, making it the first Southern Hemisphere event in this elite group! Marathon running, it seems, has no borders!
