Abbott World Marathon Majors
Abbott World Marathon Majors
The Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) is a series consisting of six of the largest and most renowned marathons in the world: Tokyo Marathon, Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America, TCS London Marathon, BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, Bank of America Chicago Marathon and TCS New York City Marathon. The organizers of these events are united in their effort to advance the sport, raise awareness of its elite athletes and increase the level of interest in competitive marathon racing among running enthusiasts. Two marathons currently in the Candidacy stage include the Sydney Marathon and the Cape Town Marathon. For athletes across the globe, competing in an Abbott World Marathon Majors race is a significant accomplishment. Once you have successfully completed the six events, you will earn the Six Star Finisher Certificate and Six Star Finisher Medal.

MTT’s first group lined up at the start of the New York City Marathon more than 45 years ago. Today, we are the official hotel provider of the Boston Marathon and are approved International Tour Operators for Tokyo, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, Sydney, and Cape Town offering guaranteed entries with our accommodation packages. We have a continued commitment to help all runners, from leisurely marathoners to Age Group World Champions (AGWC), pursue their AbbottWMM Six Star goals.
Working closely with the AbbottWMM Team and the individual races, our goal is to enhance runners and their traveling companions’ experience while they pursue their aspirational running goals. We provide guaranteed entry to each of the AbbottWMM races, offer convenient hotels and activities customized for each location.
