COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Sydney Marathon course is a combination of gradual climbs and long flat sections. The first 5k see the athletes running over the bridge and through the city. There are gentle gradual rises over the bridge and up Macquarie Street before the course heads into the Lady Macquaries Chair section. Very scenic with flat to rolling terrain. The next 15km are flat as the course goes through the eastern suburbs and Centennial Park before heading back through the city. The out and back section to Balmain is a combination of flat road and some up and down hill sections. Once back into the city the course turns left into Sussex Street and along Hickson Road before climbing up Townes and Dalgety Streets to the Observatory Hill and down into the Cahill Corkscrew and on to the Opera House forecourt finish line.
