Sydney Marathon mistakenly features Munich stadium on finisher's medal

In Australia, the Sydney Marathon is set to take place on August 30, 2026. Organisers revealed a finisher's medal that mistakenly features the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, instead of the local Allianz Stadium in Sydney. This error was noted by online observers after the medal's design was unveiled on social media. The marathon is expected to attract around 40,000 runners, and organisers have acknowledged the mistake, calling it an unfortunate error.
