What to verify before booking

Edition status

Roster note: this page follows the seven events currently in the catalogue; Cape Town was confirmed as the eighth Abbott World Marathon Major for 2027. Some linked course maps remain 2026 editions, not verified 2027 routes. Use this city map only for orientation and verify current details with organisers.

Travel details

Use the organiser’s current access, ticket, transport and accessibility instructions. A recurring host or typical month is not confirmation of next year’s programme or exact site layout.
