For many runners, earning the prestigious Abbott Six Star Medal marks the pinnacle of their running journey. This coveted medal is awarded to those who complete the six original major marathons: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York. However, as of 2024, the Sydney Marathon has officially been added as a World Marathon Major, making it the seventh. While the Six Star Medal will continue to honor those who finish the original six, recent reports suggest that Cape Town and Shanghai are emerging as potential candidates for the eighth and ninth spots in the World Marathon Major series. While the Six Star Medal remains tied to the original six, discussions are underway for the possibility of a new Nine Star Medal.
Remarkably, 11 Team Lean Strong Fast runners have achieved the distinction of being one star away from earning the six stars of the coveted Six Star Medal, symbolizing their dedication and perseverance. Their collective goal is to complete the series and inspire others on their journey towards this prestigious accolade.
Stay tuned for updates.
