About the event

Following the exciting news that the TCS Sydney Marathon is the latest event to join the prestigious World Marathon Majors, we are thrilled to announce we have secured a small number of charity places, and we want you to join Team Breakthrough T1D.

The route takes in some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It is a fast course, so great for getting a PB or just taking in the amazing sites and atmosphere that the city has to offer.
