The WMM is a series of six of the world's most renowned marathons, including the Tokyo Marathon, Boston Marathon, London Marathon, Berlin Marathon, Chicago Marathon, and New York City Marathon.

The addition of the Sydney Marathon to the WMM is a significant recognition of the event's growing stature and international appeal.
