The Sydney Marathon is reputed to be one of the two fastest major marathons in Australia and as the name implies, it is conducted in the gateway to Australia: Sydney. The marathon course goes thru/over numerous tourist attractions including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and ends at the Opera House. The event this year is Sun 17 Sep. Details can be found at http://www.sydneyrunningfestival.org/ I've logged the course in Running Ahead. Go to Training Log, then select Tools, then select Find a Route. Under Key Words type Sydney Marathon. (I'm sure there is a more sophisticated way to do this.) If anyone is planning to do a trip to Australia, why not coincide it with the Sydney Marathon. 112 days to go. Steve

Great idea! Probably not this year for me, but sometime soon I hope! Best of luck!
