Your bib number will be allocated to you at the point of bib collection at the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show (which you can share with friends and family for tracking via the official TCS Sydney Marathon event app).
Where do I need to wear my bib on race day?
In order to ensure an accurate time, please make sure that your race number is:

Walk-Off and Recovery Village
Once 10km participants have finisherd, they will keep moving forward through a controlled exit route called the Walk-Off. Please avoid stopping and taking a photo immediately after the finish line as this causes crowd congestion
This is a 100-metre walk (approximately) after the finish line towards the reunite zone, where they will be able to meet family, friends and other runners after their race, and 200m to the Recovery Village,
Shortly after the finish line (approximately 100m), 10km participants will collect their finisher medal and a Nu-Pure water to help their recovery.
Our biggest tip for all participants is to keep moving forwards after the finish line. Keeping your body moving helps blow flow, and is the best recovery move participants can make after they cross the finish line.
At the Recovery Village, participants can enjoy our dedicated food and beverage stands, the ASICS Massage and Recovery Zone, sponsor samples. giveaways and much more.
