Two-time Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge is set to compete at the Sydney Marathon 2025, making his debut in Australia. He will look to win after a sixth-place finish at the London Marathon held earlier this year. The Kenyan runner is targeting to compete in all seven World Marathon Majors.

Three-time Olympic champion Sifan Hassan is set to compete at the Sydney Marathon after earning a podium finish at the London Marathon. She will also be making her debut in Australia, as she looks to add to her impressive medal tally.

Workenesh Edesa is the defending women's champion at the event. She will look to repeat the feat this year, as last year she broke the course record with a time of 2:21:40. However, the men's defending champion, Brimin Kipkorir Misoi, will not be competing in this year's edition of the event.
