089 - What’s the deal with World Marathon Majors?

In this episode of the Start Up and Running Podcast, Ange and Peta kick off with a candid running update before getting into the heart of the discussion: what makes the Abbott World Marathon Majors such a coveted group of races, why Sydney’s new status matters so much, and how the majors compare with smaller, local events that still deliver unforgettable race-day energy. Peta shares how a random New York ballot entry pulled her into the world of majors, and Ange reflects on what it’s like to race in huge events versus more intimate marathons closer to home.Follow Ange on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok @startupandrunning_au, or email at [email protected]  Follow Peta on Instagram @petanutrunner Spoil yourself or the runner in your life with running accessories from our favourite Aussie running companies (affiliate links):TARKINE - https://www.tarkine.com/ANGELA16836 - use code ANGELA16836 to get 20% off your orderRECC Active - https://reccactive.com.au?sca_ref=6940308.wKkVRKj9Do2 - use code STARTUP15 to get 15% off your orderRUNLY - https://runly.com.au/startupandrunning - use code STARTUPANDRUNNING to get 25% off your orderVERT NUTRITION - https://vertnutrition.com.au - use code STARTUP to get 15% off your orderON PEAK HATS - https://onpeakhats.com.au - use code STARTUP15 to get 15% off your orderRELE FOOTWEAR - https://relefootwear.com.au - use code STARTUP15 for 15% off your orderRE GLASSES -https://reyourrun.com.au?bg_ref=yD1l6ayuTe - use code STARTUP10 for 10% off your order
