W Sydney announced that it has been designated as the official hotel partner of the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS.
The event is slated for 31st August and marks the Australian city’s debut as the latest destination of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.
In its capacity as an official hospitality partner, W Sydney is all set to bring its signature energy and style to support both runners and spectators during the inaugural marathon weekend.
W Sydney general manager Titus Rosier declared: "To support the Sydney Marathon in its debut as an AbbottWMM is a privilege. This is more than a race: it's a celebration of movement, community, and culture. As the Official Hotel Partner, we're proud to welcome athletes, spectators, and supporters from around the world and provide the ultimate base to recharge and recover."
Race director Wayne Lorden enthused: "We're thrilled to welcome W Sydney as the Official Hotel Partner of the TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS.

Together with W Sydney, we're excited to showcase our city's world-class hospitality, spectacular city and event to runners and visitors from around the globe."
As the only AbbottWMM in the southern hemisphere, the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon is a milestone moment for Australian running.
The course takes runners across Sydney Harbour Bridge, through Darling Harbour, The Rocks and Circular Quay, then around Centennial Park, before finishing at the Sydney Opera House.
With participants from over 100 countries expected to take part in this historic marathon, W Sydney's package ensures that runners and their supporters can experience the best of Sydney's hospitality and style throughout their marathon weekend.
Offering the ultimate spectators’ zone
The hotel will transform Barangaroo Metro Station into a vibrant W Sydney Spectator Zone on the marathon morning, creating an electrifying atmosphere for supporters cheering on the 35,000 expected participants.
Positioned between the 10km harbour route and the full marathon course on Hickson Road, the zone will pulse with W Hotels' trademark energy.
W Sydney music curator Matt Hryniuk will provide the soundtrack with signature W beats, and motivational signs and exclusive giveaways will help to create an unforgettable moment for both runners and their supporters.
W Sydney's acclaimed BTWN Restaurant is also getting into the marathon spirit, offering specialised carb-loading options across the weekend.
Runners can fuel up with nourishing dishes such as honey and garlic spatchcock chicken with broccolini and roasted sweet potatoes, Fabricca mafaldine pasta with yellowfin tuna, anchovies and EVOO, and paella with bomba rice, sofrito, saffron and mixed vegetables, all designed to provide optimal pre-race nutrition.
