Sydney, Did You Not Read My Blog?

Sydney Marathon just repeated the Great North Run's medal mistake. Wrong stadium this time, wrong country too.

I wrote about why both organisers turned the error into brilliant PR, and why having an approvals process is important - it's not just for typos!

Full story below. I'm running The London Marathon this year for the Lily Foundation, so my own medal is getting checked very closely.

Sydney, Did You Not Read My Blog? wrote about the Great North Run's map mistake a few months back. Wrong river, wrong city, good sense of humour from the organisers.

Every official World Cup 2026 scarf, close to 200 of them, was drawn by one person in Leeds.
It is our favourite fact of the tournament, and part of a bigger story about small studios landing the biggest brief in sport.
