High Performance Program Powered by Porsche
The program leading the way for sub-elite athletes, worldwide.
The High Performance Program powered by Porsche (HPP) is a bespoke program designed to deliver a professional-level race experience to the world's best sub-elite marathon runners at the TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS.
Designed for dedicated runners looking to take the next step in their marathon journey, the program provides access to performance support, opportunities, and resources to help athletes reach their potential.
Whether you are aiming for a personal best, national qualification standards, or competing on the world stage, the HPP is built to support ambitious athletes committed to excellence.
Dedicated Warm-Up Area
High performing athletes need space to be at their best. That’s why we’ve reserved North Sydney Oval - a premier sporting ground next to the start line - just for you
Dedicated Bib Collection
We’re working on a dedicated bib collection experience for our High Performance Program athletes during the usual TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show hours. We’ll have more information on bib collection closer to event week.
HPP Exclusive Shakeout
Wondering who’s going to be running alongside you on race day? You’ll have the chance to meet before the start line on Friday in Sydney’s CBD. More information on our HPP shakeout run will be available in early July.
