August - Event Month | TCS Sydney Marathon

AUGUST

Event Month

This is it. The month you've been becoming ready for since the ballot opened.

Every early alarm. Every long run that started in the dark and ended in the light. Every kilometre you didn't feel like doing but did anyway - it was all leading here.

 

Welcome to Event Month.

Purpose

You didn't sign up by accident. Whatever brought you here - a milestone, a comeback, a promise to yourself - it's about to be answered.

Identity

Somewhere between October and now, "someone training for a marathon" became "a marathoner." That's not a finish line thing. That already happened.

Completion

42.2km isn't the end of the story. It's the line that proves the rest of the story was real.

Coach's Corner

Expert Advice.
Built For Right Now.

Your head coaches Ben Lucas and Georgia Weir are sharing expert guidance across every part of your prep - tapering, race-day nutrition, and how to keep your head quiet in the final week.

 

Real advice for real runners at exactly this stage of the journey.

Book your bib collection

Event week is creeping up fast, which only means one thing - the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS is your next stop. 

 

To make your experience as enjoyable as possible, we’re asking you to book your preferred bib collection time between Thursday 27 - Saturday, 29 August.

Sort your race day nutrition

Your legs aren't the only thing that need training. Your fuel does too. 

 

Event day isn't the time to try something new. Practice your fuelling now, so it feels second nature on the day.
