🏃♂️Sydney Marathon Medal Features Munich's Arena Instead of Sydney’s
Runners will get a piece of Germany in their medal case
TL;DR
The Sydney Marathon medals mistakenly feature Munich’s Allianz Arena instead of the local stadium. Over 40,000 runners will receive these medals on August 30.
The Sydney Marathon medal design unveiled this week features Munich's iconic Allianz Arena rather than the intended Allianz Stadium in Sydney. This mistake is reminiscent of last year’s Great North Run incident where medals incorrectly depicted Sunderland landmarks. The marathon, set for August 30 with over 40,000 participants, highlights a mix-up that could confuse runners and collectors alike. The medal design includes a beautiful skyline and landmarks from the Sydney course but mistakenly features Munich's stadium sculpted by thousands of diamond-shaped inflatable cushions instead of Sydney’s flatter façade.
