December 18, 2024

Leading running travel specialists Marathon Tours & Travel are excited to unveil travel packages for two of Australia’s most celebrated marathons: the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon presented by Asics and Kangaroo Island Marathon. With only a week separating the two events, participants can also choose to take on the ultimate running adventure by combining both events in the unique Aussie Challenge.

18th December 2024, Boston US /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Now an official Abbott World Marathon Major, the 2025 iteration of TCS Sydney Marathon takes place on Sunday 31st August. As one of only seven World Marathon Majors, it promises an electric atmosphere, world-class competition, and the chance to run past some of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.

Just a week before the TCS Sydney Marathon, on Sunday 24th August 2025, the Kangaroo Island Marathon provides a stunning counterpoint with its rugged natural beauty. Owned and operated by Marathon Tours & Travel themselves, the stunning run course weaves through undulating roads and trails with an exposed coastal section offering breathtaking views of the Southern Ocean, and a boardwalk leading to the iconic Remarkable Rocks.

And for those looking to take on both iconic events, Marathon Tours & Travel offers a specially curated Aussie Challenge package, providing guaranteed race entries for both TCS Sydney Marathon and Kangaroo Island Marathon, along with accommodation, transportation between events, tailored itineraries and an exclusive medal and commemorative t-shirt for those who complete the challenge. A worthy addition to any runner’s bucket list, the Aussie Challenge package allows participants to focus on their race goals while immersing themselves in the very best that Australia has to offer.

Jeff Adams, President of Marathon Tours & Travel, shares his excitement about the events, as he said: “The 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon marks a historic moment as it joins the ranks of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. It’s an incredible honour to offer our runners this experience alongside the Kangaroo Island Marathon, an event we are proud to own and operate. Together, these races form the ultimate Aussie Challenge, combining world-class competition with the chance to explore one of the world’s most breathtaking regions. Our team can’t wait to welcome participants to Australia for this unforgettable adventure.”
