The 2025 Sydney Marathon was the 25th edition of the event, and notably the first running since the race was announced as the seventh addition to the World Marathon Majors in November 2024.[1]

The race had 79,000 applications in 2025. The number of finishers was nearly 33,000 runners. This was a notable increase from the 2022 edition of the Sydney Marathon where 5,306 runners entered the race.

Background

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]

Results

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