Marathon Talk

The Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) is a prestigious series of marathons that creates a championship-style competition for both elite and amateur runners. Established in 2006, it includes major events like the Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, and Sydney marathons. The series promotes health, athleticism, and community engagement among runners worldwide. AbbottWMM features a Star System that rewards runners with medals for completing multiple marathons. The Six Star medal is awarded to those who finish the original six races. Additionally, the organization operates a global age group marathon ranking system, allowing participants to compare their performances. Team Abbott supports runners who have overcome health challenges, fostering a community that inspires others through running. Abbott has been the title sponsor since 2015, partnering with organizations like Bank of America, TCS, BMW, and ASICS to enhance the marathon experience.
