Thursday 28th August until Saturday 30th August, 2025
Step into the future of running with the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS, Australia’s biggest running expo! With over 50 exhibitors, event partners, and charities, you’ll get the latest technology, knowledge, and support to make your race prep easier than ever – regardless of running experience. Not only that, but visitors to the show can also take advantage of the free exhibition, which is home to the newest trends in health and fitness.
Head over to the TCS Sydney Marathon Running Show presented by ASICS for bib collection (which is your race number for event day) – the central hub for everything related to running. This immersive event not only functions as the collection point for race day essentials but also serves as your primary destination for running-related information, entertainment, and the chance to interact with our sponsors.
All participants must pick up their race number during the given dates and times, while non-participants can still visit the show. So come join us and prepare to be amazed by what this event has to offer – this is not your ordinary running expo.
You'll witness the greatest marathon runner of all time. And we'll let you know where and when.
Eliud Kipchoge is widely regarded as the greatest marathon runner of all time. And you have the chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime athlete right here in Sydney. This will be a defining moment in Australian sporting history, and we want you there to soak in every second of it!
And Kipchoge isn't just fast; he represents a philosophy of dedication, discipline, and pushing boundaries. His famous mantra, "No human is limited," permeates beyond the sport of running. Not only will you take in his athletic prowess, but you'll see him embody philosophy through action. It's incredibly motivating, trust us - we've seen him before!
Our socials, website, app and signage on the day are going to let you know where and when Eliud will be in each location on the course, so you can be a part of our shared history on Sunday, August 31.

Runners love to hear you scream!
Ask any marathon runner, and they’ll tell you, the crowd makes all the difference. Aussies know better than anyone the power of showing up and supporting a mate. This is your chance to rally behind 35,000 runners, cheer them on, and help push them toward an incredible achievement.
You'll be captivated by the human spirit of Sydney.
The marathon distance of 42.2km is a powerful symbol of human endurance and resilience. Those who witness their journey to the finish line become part of the individual's memory of their experience, and spectators become part of the fabric of marathon day.
Celebrating runners’ goals - no matter how big or small - is cause for celebration. And if there's one thing we know about Sydney, it's that the people know how to party!
You'll be rewarded for your Sunday morning alarm.
If you can get to the side of the road, we'll make sure that it's worth your while. With entertainment for adults and kids, fantastic giveaways and deals from our local business partners, DJ's, MC's and much more, the TCS Sydney Marathon is like no other Sunday morning during the year - often run in beautiful weather conditions too!
Are you a part of a run club? Let us know!
We'll have a dedicated section on course reserved for run clubs to be cheering at their loudest all morning! Make sure to get in touch with us and get access to a premium position on our marathon course, as well as an opportunity to let 35,000 runners on course, and hundreds of thousands watching along what your club is all about!
