Sydney Marathon medal features stadium from wrong country

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleCompetitors run across the Sydney Harbour Bridge during the 2025 Sydney Marathon (Getty)Organisers of the Sydney Marathon have acknowledged an error in this year’s finisher's medal, which mistakenly featured Munich's Allianz Arena instead of Sydney's Allianz Stadium. Marathon bosses laughed off the mistake, saying that they were "not going to run from it" and adding that the blunder makes the medal "a little more unique". Munich's Allianz Arena responded in good humour on social media, joking that they "didn't have that on our bingo card". Artist Ambrose Killian, who created the front design of the medal, said he had no involvement in the design or production of the reverse side. A record field of more than 40,000 runners is expected to receive the medal after completing the 42.2km race next week.
