Access and Inclusion

Any participants wishing to participate in an everyday wheelchair or with a pram are asked to enter the C-Wave start group. Everyday wheelchairs are not permitted in any other start group.

Please note, race wheelchairs are not permitted unless the athlete has qualified for the Elite Wheelchair Marathon Athlete division. Race wheelchairs cannot be used in any other start group.

Sydney Marathon, presented by ASICS, accepts companion cards for participants who require the assistance of a companion carer. A second entry ticket may be issued at no extra cost to the Companion Card holder.

For information on where to collect your race bib, please visit the Sydney Marathon Running Show webpage.

Each event course is accessible to participants who are registered and wearing the bib for the corresponding course (e.g. Sydney Marathon, Sydney Marathon 21.1km).

Accessible Toilets are available at each drink station on the Sydney Marathon, Sydney Marathon 21.1km and Sydney Marathon 10km courses. Please refer to the course maps for the specific location. There are no drink stations on course for the Sydney Marathon Family Run 3.5k, however accessible toilets are available at both the start and finish areas.
