What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- Whether this year's event successfully secures Sydney's inclusion as a permanent World Marathon Major.
- Gobena’s official finishing time, the previous course record and the margin by which it was broken are not supplied.
- No official finishing time is supplied for Jepchirchir.
- It is unclear whether the approximately 40,000 figure refers to registered entrants, starters or finishers, and whether it covers only the marathon or multiple event categories.
- The supplied source labels lack excerpts or links, so their precise support for each claim cannot be checked from this material.
