Sydney Marathon: Where Wheelchair Racers Conquer the Hardest Course The Sydney Marathon has long been one of the world's most grueling courses, but this year's event takes on added significance as a World Major.

De Rozario's story of carrying the Australian flag at the Paris Paralympics and then competing in the marathon just days after learning of her father's passing is a testament to the resilience and grit that defines these athletes.
