PROJECT

The Sydney Running Marathon,  presented by ASICS, is currently in the running to become a part of the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM). 

This event makes history as the largest marathon field ever in Australian history, with an astounding 40,000 runners from 70 different nations around the globe.

We were honoured with the opportunity to revamp the entire graphics package for the Channel 10 broadcast of this incredible event. 2023 marks our eighth year contributing to this spectacular occasion. 

This project was a labour of love, and we gladly went the extra mile to exceed expectations and ensure its success.
