Accuracy note

Geography, not false precision.

Downloaded from the link on tcssydneymarathon.com/marathon on 4 November 2026. The file reports about 42.24 km. We did not redraw it. The page also states +313 m of climbing, which is not the same as summing this file.

The line on the map is the organizer's linked 2026 GPX, sampled, not a fresh 2027 survey.

What the file is

The 2027 marathon page links a download named TCS_Sydney_Marathon_2026_Course.gpx. We read 650 track points on 4 November 2026.

The page also prints +313 m of climbing and -83 m net drop. Summing the file's own elevation samples gave about 283 m of climbing. Both numbers stay on the page. We did not pick a winner.
