Travel factsThe six classic races are Boston, Chicago, New York, Berlin, London and Tokyo. Now Sydney is the seventh official race.

What’s more, our most loyal travellers have priority access to the most coveted places.
“It was an awesome challenge to complete all the World Marathon Majors. Through the travelling, I have had many memorable experiences, seen so many things and met so many wonderful people”
Thomas Björnermark, our running project manager
Medals and stars
- Six Star Medal – awarded to runners who complete the original six races (Boston, Chicago, New York, Berlin, London, Tokyo).
- Extra stars – Sydney (and in the future Cape Town and Shanghai) become stars for the next planned milestone: the Nine Star Medal.
- Nine Star Medal (future) – will be the second official medal in the series, once both Cape Town and Shanghai have joined.
In November 2024, the Sydney Marathon was inaugurated as the seventh official Major race. The Six Star medal is still awarded for the original six, but each new Major race you run now counts as an extra star in your journey. The next step is already underway – the Cape Town Marathon and Shanghai Marathon are expected to become Major’s by 2027. Once both are in, a new historical milestone will open: the official Nine Star medal, proof that you’ve conquered the world in running shoes.
Demand for several races within the Abbott World Marathon Majors is much higher than we can accommodate. In order to allocate the race entries in the best way, we therefore use an application process for these. Of course, we want to fulfil everyone’s dream, but we currently need to prioritise our most loyal customers – who have travelled a lot with us in general and done several Majors with Springtime in particular.
