Why iFIT Members Should be Excited
The Sydney Marathon is a Unique Experience
The Sydney Marathon isn't just another race—it's a journey through some of the most beautiful and famous landmarks in Australia. Runners are treated to a breathtaking view of Sydney Harbour as they cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a once-in-a-lifetime experience many participants describe as the highlight of their running careers. The course continues through the city’s picturesque neighborhoods and waterfront areas, ensuring that there's never a dull moment.
The challenge of Elevation Changes
While the scenery is a draw, the Sydney Marathon also provides loads of challenges. The route's variation in elevation can test even seasoned marathoners. The incline on the Sydney Harbour Bridge alone is particularly notable, requiring strategic pacing and mental stamina to overcome. However, the physical challenge is often offset by the surrounding views of the sparkling water and the impressive Sydney skyline.
Finishing Strong at the Sydney Opera House
Crossing the finish line at the Sydney Opera House is the perfect reward after 26.2 miles of running. The Opera House creates a dramatic and emotional backdrop for exhausted runners.
iFIT PRO members can enjoy segments of the marathon experience in their own home. They will be able to follow Heather and re-do their favorite part anytime with their membership, iFit enabled equipment and the new Sydney Marathon partnership.
