Welcome to a very special bonus episode of the Flying RuNR Podcast! In this episode, we're thrilled to have our Marathon mate, Stephen Tudjman, join us for an insightful recap of the Sydney Marathon—a strong contender to become an Abbots World Major Marathon. The event was held Sunday the 17th September. Sydney Marathon – World Major Candidate Race Recap

Stephen brings a unique perspective to the table, as he served as a 7-hour pacer and sweeper during the event. His role involved supporting and encouraging numerous runners to achieve something truly remarkable, contributing to the impressive tally of over 13,000 marathon finishers. What made this challenge even more daunting was the unexpected twist of unseasonably high temperatures on the day, adding an extra layer of complexity to the race.
