The Abbott World Marathon Majors is the World's premier marathon series.
With the addition of Sydney which joined in 2025, the Abbott World Marathon Majors programme has expanded to seven races. Running in each race and completing the series has become the preeminent challenge for thousands of runners driving demand for entries to unprecendented levels. The Abbott World Marathon Majors include: Tokyo Foundation Marathon, TCS London Marathon, Boston Marathon, TCS Sydney Marathon, BMW Berlin Marathon, Bank of America Chicago Marathon and TCS New York City Marathon
With the exception of London, 2:09 Events has guaranteed entry to 6 of the 7 Majors under the International Travel Partner (ITP) arrangements. That allows to sell guaranteed entry to these events when sold with a travel package. We are also currently selling packages to the 2026 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in the expectation that it will become the 8th Major after completing its second year of qualification in October 2025.

Choosing an overseas event is an exciting prospect and you will spend a lot of time training and focusing on it. It is essential then that you don?t jeopardize your dream by booking travel arrangements with a non-bonded supplier and run the risk of losing your money if a travel company goes into liquidation. 2:09 Events is a fully bonded tour operator regulated with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the Air Travel Organisers License (ATOL) scheme. This protects your payments to 2:09 Events Ltd for all flight inclusive tours in the unlikely event that 2:09 Events Ltd ceased trading. |
