The team acknowledged the issue, calling it an unfortunate oversight that has nevertheless been received with plenty of good humour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Poppins',sans-serif; line-height: 1.7; text-align: justify;\">In their statement, organizers highlighted that Sydney is preparing to welcome thousands of runners from across Australia and around the world. This year\u2019s edition has reached record participation, record fundraising, and is expected to bring record crowds along the course. Despite the medal mishap, the focus remains on delivering an unforgettable race weekend filled with energy, support, and world\u2011class marathon atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Poppins',sans-serif; line-height: 1.7; text-align: justify;\">The medal error has sparked conversation, but it hasn\u2019t dampened excitement for the event.
