The Sydney marathon is angling to be classed among the world's best events as it boasts a record number of participants, including this group of Filipino Australians, MyTIA from Sydney. More than 17,000 runners are registered to tackle today's [[Sunday's]] gruelling 42km course. The figure is more than double the number who took part in Australia's previous biggest marathon, held in Melbourne in 2019 with 8,100 runners. Credit: Grazie Panlican
