Marathon de Sydney

I enjoyed views of bridges, parks and harbors in a good season!

I really like the Sydney Marathon. It's fairly small for a city race, but that's good because you can make a good time and not be crammed in at the start. The race starts underneath the bridge and then you cross the harbour and head south. Good vibe. The course does some unusual loops and switchbacks down at the centenial (?) park before coming back up to the city and winding in and out all those little bays around Darling Harbour before finishing at the Opera House. I found the course to be very good and it currently has my PB. I will do it again for sure.

It's not dead flat, but none of the hills are very steep. Because it's a smallish race I think it's a good one for PB hunting. Even though I am a Victorian, I prefer this course over Melbourne.

Awesome
