Sydney Marathon medal mistakenly depicts Allianz Arena in Munich instead of Allianz Stadium in Sydney. The error was spotted one week before the 30 August event, which expects 40,000 runners from over 120,000 ballot entries. Organisers said the medal's design includes a skyline and course landmarks, but the Munich arena appears instead of Sydney's.

The double-sided medal features First Nations artwork by [PERSON_NAME] on one side and 42 half-round markings for each kilometre on the edge. [PERSON_NAME] told the BBC he did not design the stadium side. A similar medal error occurred at last year's [ADDRESS] in [ADDRESS]. Sydney was added to the Abbott World Marathon Majors in 2024 and will become the eighth major host city next year.
