The median time for all runners who completed the 2024 Sydney Marathon (all 20,245 of them — only 13,250 finished last year) was 04:09:02. The last finisher in 2024 took 08:01:38 to get to the finish line (and remember, that’s doing better than Kipchoge managed in his last marathon).
I don’t have gun-time stats for 2024, but if 2023 is any guide, the busiest time at the finish was around 04:46 where 104 finishers crossed the line in a period of just one minute.
