In 2024, the TCS Sydney Marathon received over 79,000 applications, making it one of the most in-demand marathons in the world. Capped at 35,000 runners, the event became the largest marathon in Australia, a milestone achievement as it joined the Abbott World Marathon Majors in 2025.
But with more qualified runners than ever and limited spots, thousands were left out. As the Official Fitness Training Partner of the TCS Sydney Marathon, iFIT is proud to offer runners a second chance to take part in the 2025 race and represent Team iFIT in Sydney.
How to apply
We will be giving 10 runners the opportunity to cross the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon finish line with Team iFIT. Not only will runners get a chance to run and join Team iFIT, they will also receive guidance and mentorship from two iFIT Trainers.
What we are looking for:
- Vertical videos, 3 minutes max, telling your story. Why do you deserve to run with Team iFIT? What does this opportunity mean to you? Show us your passion, your journey, and your drive.
- You can include friends and family to help tell your story. We encourage you to include photos and additional video clips you feel would help add to your story.
- Tag @iFIT and use #TeamiFIT and #iFITMarathonContest in your video.
Need ideas? Tell us:
- Why you’d be a great member of Team iFIT
- What makes your story stand out
- What does crossing the TCS Sydney Marathon finish line mean to you?
- Imagine your support team is meeting you at the finish line. What would you tell them?
- Your experience(s) with distance running
- How iFIT, ProForm, or NordicTrack has supported your fitness journey
