Episode description

In this exciting episode of Marathon Talk, FORDY RUNS and Hayden dive deep into all things World Marathon Majors – starting with the big news: the Sydney Marathon is officially a Major in 2025! 🇦🇺

We break down what this means for the running world and analyse how Sydney’s course elevation stacks up against the iconic – and hilly – New York City Marathon. Will Sydney offer a faster, more scenic challenge? We’ve got the details.

💬 Plus:

✅ 3 Things We Love and Don’t Love about both the Chicago and Berlin Marathons – from crowd support to course layout to logistics.

🌐 A heated debate on the current World Marathon Majors lineup – should there be more? Fewer? And which cities around the globe deserve a spot on the list?

Whether you're chasing six stars or dreaming of a race Down Under, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
