The prize purse applies to both men and women in the elite category, reflecting the marathon’s commitment to rewarding excellence, attracting world-class athletes, and maintaining its World Athletics Gold Label status.

According to the official breakdown, the winner of the elite 42km race will earn $50,000, while the runner-up takes home $20,000. The third-place finisher will receive $15,000, with fourth and fifth positions earning $12,000 and $10,000 respectively.

Prizes continue further down the rankings: the sixth-place athlete will collect $8,000, seventh place will receive $6,000, and eighth place will be awarded $4,000, ensuring strong incentives for top performers across the field.
