Paralympic champ out to conquer 'hardest' course at Sydney Marathon
Madison de Rozario won the 2024 Sydney Marathon during an emotion fuelled time. She missed last year's debut as a World Major, and is now ready to tackle what she says is the hardest course on the circuit.
Madison de Rozario, a Paralympic champion and one of Australia's top wheelchair racers, is preparing to take on the challenging Sydney Marathon course. Originally from Perth, she has called Sydney home for many years and trains with the guidance of renowned coach Louise Sauvage. The 42-kilometre route from North Sydney to the Opera House is known for its steep hills and difficult terrain, making it the most challenging course among the World Major marathons.
De Rozario has previously won the event twice, including a recent victory in 2024 just after competing in the Paris Paralympics. The Sydney Marathon holds a special place in her heart, as it would be her third win in the race and her third time crossing the finish line at the iconic Opera House. Despite the physical demands of the course, de Rozario is eager to conquer this formidable challenge and make it a memorable experience.
