I really like the Sydney Marathon. It's fairly small for a city race, but that's good because you can make a good time and not be crammed in at the start. The race starts underneath the bridge and then you cross the harbour and head south. Good vibe. The course does some unusual loops and switchbacks down at the centenial (?) park before coming back up to the city and winding in and out all those little bays around Darling Harbour before finishing at the Opera House. I found the course to be very good and it currently has my PB. I will do it again for sure.

It's not dead flat, but none of the hills are very steep. Because it's a smallish race I think it's a good one for PB hunting. Even though I am a Victorian, I prefer this course over Melbourne.

多變而優美嘅賽道 良好嘅安排 另外仲有熱情嘅沿途人群 唯一美中不足嘅就係要預先儲存

挑戰自己

I love the running route, with beautiful scenery and many challenges with elevation gain. The people of Sydney cheer enthusiastically. The organizers did a great job helping the athletes complete their distances successfully.

I love Marathon .
