A points-based competition founded on seven major marathon races recognised as the most high-profile on the calendar, the series comprises annual races (in order of their founding) for the cities of Boston (1897), New York (1970), Berlin (1974), Chicago (1977), London (1981), Sydney (2000), and Tokyo (2007).

In addition, the '''World Marathon Majors''' includes the results of any major global championship marathon held in that year. These races are the biennial World Athletics Championships Marathon, and the quadrennial Olympic Games Marathon.<ref>[http://worldmarathonmajors.com/US/series/article/20/ How It Works] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105115534/http://worldmarathonmajors.com/US/series/article/20/ |date=2012-11-05 }}.

==History== Each World Marathon Majors series originally spanned two full calendar years; the second year of a series overlapped with the first year of the next. Starting in 2015, each series began with a defined city race and ended with the following race in the same city. So, series IX started in February 2015 at the 2015 Tokyo Marathon and ended there in February 2016 at the 2016 Tokyo Marathon. Series X started at the 2016 Boston Marathon and finished at the 2017 Boston Marathon. Series XI started at the 2017 London Marathon and finished at the 2018 London Marathon.

Initial major sponsor Abbott Laboratories added its name in 2015.<ref name=Abbott>{{cite web|title=ABBOTT CELEBRATES THE POWER OF HEALTH AND ACHIEVEMENT AS FIRST-EVER TITLE SPONSOR OF WORLD MARATHON MAJORS|url=https://www.worldmarathonmajors.com/news/wmm/show/abbott-celebrates-the-power-of-health-and-achievement-as-first-ever-title-sponsor-of-world-marathon/|publisher=World Marathon Majors|access-date=10 November 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304112827/https://www.worldmarathonmajors.com/news/wmm/show/abbott-celebrates-the-power-of-health-and-achievement-as-first-ever-title-sponsor-of-world-marathon/|url-status=dead}}</ref> On April 26, 2017, Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd., one of the leading Chinese private conglomerates, announced a ten-year strategic partnership aimed at the continued growth and development of marathon events worldwide.

Beginning with Series X at the 2016 Boston Marathon, wheelchair competitions were added for men and women.

At the end of each of the first 10 WMM series the leading man and woman each won $500,000, making a total prize of one million U.S. dollars. Beginning with Series XI, the prize structure was revised so that for men and women first place became $250,000, second place $50,000 and third place $25,000. In the wheelchair division the prize money for men and women is $50,000 (first), $25,000 (second) and $10,000 (third).

In November 2024, it was announced that the Sydney Marathon would be added as the seventh race in the World Marathon Majors. The inaugural Sydney event in the series was on August 31, 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sydney Marathon joins the Majors |url=https://www.worldmarathonmajors.com/content-hub/sydney-marathon-joins-the-majors#:~:text=ABBOTT%20WORLD%20MARATHON%20MAJORS%20today,Abbott%20World%20Marathon%20Majors%20series. |access-date=2024-11-05 |website=www.worldmarathonmajors.com |language=en}}</ref> Also in November 2024, the Cape Town Marathon passed stage 1, with stage 2 evaluation set for October 2025 and possible inclusion as a major in 2026.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://capetownmarathon.com/stage-1-pass-in-awmm-candidacy/ |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=capetownmarathon.com |title=Sanlam Cape Town Marathon Passes Stage 1 in Abbott World Marathon Majors Candidacy &#124; Sanlam Cape Town Marathon }}</ref> Earlier in 2024, the Shanghai Marathon was announced as a major candidate and began the three year evaluation process.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-09 |title=Shanghai Marathon becomes candidate Abbott World Marathon Majors race |url=https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/news/a62554368/shanghai-marathon-awmm-candidate/ |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=Runner's World |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Shanghai Marathon becomes Abbott World Marathon Majors candidate race |url=https://www.worldmarathonmajors.com/content-hub/shanghai-marathon-becomes-abbott-world-marathon-majors-candidate-race |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=www.worldmarathonmajors.com |language=en}}</ref>

==Scoring system== Athletes who competed in the marathons originally received points for finishing in any of the top five places (1st place: 25 points; 2nd place: 15 points; 3rd place: 10 points; 4th place: 5 points; 5th place: 1 point). Their four highest ranks over the two-year period were counted; if an athlete scored points in more than this number, the athlete's four best races were scored. To be eligible for the jackpot, an athlete had to compete in at least one qualifying race in each calendar year of the series.

In 2015, the scoring was revised (1st place: 25 points; 2nd place: 16 points; 3rd place: 9 points; 4th place: 4 points; 5th place: 1 point). The two highest ranks during the scoring period would be counted, with only the best two if more than that number.

For the first three series if there were equal top scores at the end of the competition the tiebreakers were head-to-head competition and, if necessary, a majority vote of the five WMM race directors. This happened in the 2007–08 women's competition.

Beginning in the 2009–10 season, following best head-to-head record, the following tie-breakers were implemented, in descending order: the person who scored points in the fewest races, the person who won the most qualifying races during the period, the person with the fastest average time in their scoring races, and a majority vote of the six-race directors. If the final circumstance is necessary, the race directors could award the title jointly.
