Routing
The start was in the North Sydney district on Miller Street at the level of the North Sydney Oval , a stadium for rugby, soccer, cricket and Australian football. The route ran south to the Pacific Highway . This freeway continued to the Bradfield Highway and over the Sydney Harbor Bridge . Via the Cahill Expressway , the route then headed east to Bridge Street , then south again, following Macquarie Street . It went past the State Library of New South Wales and the State Parliament Building to Hyde Park . Here the path led along the east side, at the south end of the park it was first left into Oxford Street , then right into Flinders Street , which merges into the ANZAC Parade . The route continued to the left into Lang Road to Centennial Park , which was circled on the Old Grand Drive . Then we went back to the ANZAC Parade via Lang Road , where the path turned left.
Again the route ran south, past the University of New South Wales in the Kingsford district. There was a turning point at Broadbent Street . The ANZAC Parade went back to Flinders Street , but this time the loop through Centennial Park was skipped. The path now led to the left into Oxford Street , following Liverpool Street , which ran along the south end of Hyde Park . At the corner of the park, it turned right onto Elizabeth Street on the west edge of the park. Halfway down the route turned left west onto Bathurst Street , which led to the Western Distributor . Here the ANZAC Bridge was crossed and the Lilyfield district reached. The route followed Victoria Road , City-West Link Road and Dobroyd Parade to the west. On Ramsay Street there was an arch to the right in the direction of the Five Rock district before it turned left onto Fairlight Street , which shortly afterwards becomes Queens Road and merges into Gipps Road in the Canada Bay district . In the district of Strathfield, the route continued on the Western Motorway , which passed the Stadium Australia south . The motorway was left and immediately afterwards the stadium was reached, in which one more lap had to be covered.

Race course
Date: September 24, 2000, 9:00 a.m. , Sydney time ( UTC + 10 )
At the beginning, the race was determined by the Belgian Marleen Renders. After five kilometers she was eighteen seconds ahead of her rivals, but at ten kilometers it had shrunk to three seconds before Renders fell further and further and finally gave up. Then there were changing tours at high speed, at fifteen kilometers the Italian Maura Viceconte was ahead. Little by little the field of runners fell apart and a group of five with the Japanese Naoko Takahashi, Esther Wanjiru from Kenya, the North Korean Kim Chang-ok, Șimon and Ichihashi pulled away. The pace remained high and Wanjiru and Chang-ok had to let go. At 25 km Ichihashi also lost contact, so that Takahashi and Șimon were now alone in front. The Japanese and Romanians ran many kilometers together, the runners behind them had no chance of getting close to the leaders again as the race continued to be fast. With eight kilometers to go, the Japanese woman was able to break away from Șimon decisively. Naoko Takahashi won the marathon in a new Olympic record time . Her lead over Lidia Șimon was eight seconds, making it the smallest lead in the Olympic history of the women's marathon. Bronze won the Kenyan Joyce Chepchumba ahead of Esther Wanjiru and the Russian Madina Biktagirowa. Elfenesh Alemu came in sixth ahead of Eri Yamaguchi from Japan and Ham Bong-sil from North Korea. Fatuma Roba finished ninth, 4:24 minutes behind Takahashi, while Valentina Yegorowa had given up the race after fifteen kilometers.
Lidia Șimon won the first Olympic medal for Romania in the women's marathon.
