Hello.
This kind of feature doesn't really belong on OSM. Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice that explains what type of features are good to map. 👍

Thanks - Im trying to follow Strava's "Starting Point" guides and it recommended this. Any assistance would be appreciated. You can remove if not proper. thanks for the heads up.

Reading that article it seems like you might have misunderstood or misread their description. It states
"...Hot spots could include bike shops, cafes, water fountains, restrooms, photo spots, and other popular sites.
Start Points are popular spots ... like parking lots or trailheads, and can only be found on Strava."
So, they are saying to add features to OSM map from which people often start their routes, but they have to be real features, like shops, cafes, parking lots, fountains, etc. It can't be an arbitrary spot in the middle of a random sidewalk with nothing there.
Also, I'm not sure what they mean by it, but OSM has plenty of parking lots and trailheads mapped, they are not exclusive to Strava. 🤷
If your marathon starting location has some sort of a sign or a plaque there, you are by all means welcome to add that, but not just an arbitrary spot with no real world equivalent like what you added here.
