The TCS Sydney Marathon is more than Australia’s greatest marathon; it is a powerful force for social change. Since our inception, our incredible community of runners has raised over $36.2 million for vital charitable causes, setting an all-time event record of $8.8 million in 2025 alone. Whether you want to support ground-breaking medical research, foster social inclusion, or give back to your local community, you can turn your sweat into real-world impact. Secure your spot, start your Grassrootz campaign, and run Sydney with a purpose.
