Sydney Marathon Pace Calculator & Race Plan

Sydney crosses the Harbour Bridge and runs through the hilly North Sydney section before returning along the harbor. 239 meters of gain makes this one of the hillier World Marathon Major candidates. August is winter in Sydney, so conditions are usually cool.

The hills in the first half demand conservative pacing. Our model adjusts for each climb and the cumulative toll of the terrain.
