Gaye, coming into Sydney fresh off her silver medal in Boston, will look to Tamirat Tola as her main competition, even though Kibet will be back to defend her title. The Ethiopian won gold at last summer's World Championships and is coming off a third-place finish at the 2023 London Marathon.

Similarly, Tanui is not the only one looking to shatter the current women's record. Nazret Weldu, Haven Heil, and Judith Jeptum-Korir all have PBs significantly faster than the current race record.

Also, the Sydney Marathon changed to a new course this year, which organizers say is faster than the previous course.

Here is how to watch the 2023 Sydney Marathon live stream online from anywhere, which will feature world-famous landmarks such as the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.

The 2023 Sydney Marathon is streamed live for free in Australia on the 10Play catch-up service and in the US, Canada, and the UK on the Sydney Marathon Facebook page. Maybe you are on vacation and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country when you can usually watch the race for free at home.

Don't worry - you can watch via VPN instead. Here's how to do it.

It's natural to want to watch the Sydney Marathon live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there during the event?

Nothing beats a VPN, or virtual private network, which makes it appear as if you are surfing from your home country, rather than the country you are in. That means you can access the streaming services you've already paid for from anywhere on the planet. Or at least, anywhere you have an Internet connection.

These are perfectly legal, inexpensive, and easy to use. We've tested many of the best VPN services, and our current favorite is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works with a variety of devices, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The VPN is incredibly easy to use.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app. For example, if you are in France and want to watch a live broadcast from the U.S.A., select U.S.A. from the list.

3. sit back and enjoy the action: go to Facebook or another website and watch a live stream of the 2023 Sydney Marathon.

If you are in the US, you can watch the 2023 Sydney Marathon on Facebook. You will need an account, however.

If you already use these services but are not in the US right now, a good VPN will allow you to live stream the Sydney Marathon. And if for some reason it doesn't work, ExpressVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Facebook is another place to watch the Sydney Marathon in the UK. You will need a Facebook login, however.

And even if you are not in the UK right now, you can follow the Sydney Marathon live stream with the best VPN services such as ExpressVPN.

Canadian long-distance running fans can watch the 2023 Sydney Marathon on the Sydney Marathon Facebook page.

I'm not home right now. You can use ExpressVPN or another VPN service to access your home broadcast from anywhere.

The 2023 Sydney Marathon will be broadcast for free in Australia on Channel 10 and its streaming service, 10Play. All you have to do is enter your details, including your Australian postal code (e.g. 2093).

Fox Sports also has the rights to broadcast the Sydney Marathon in Australia, and you can watch all the events online through Foxtel and Kayo Sports for as little as $25 a month.
