City2Surf

City2Surf is an iconic running event held annually in Sydney, Australia. It typically takes place in August and covers a distance of 14 kilometres from the heart of Sydney’s (CBD) to the famous Bondi Beach. Since 2008, when the fundraising tally was first recorded, our incredible participants have raised over $55 million for charities in need. A city giving back has become the beating heart of this event.

The event attracts thousands of participants from all walks of life, including elite athletes, recreational runners, joggers, and walkers. It’s renowned for its scenic course, which includes both flat stretches and challenging hills, most notably the infamous “Heartbreak Hill.”

City2Surf isn’t just about the race; it’s also a celebration of community, fitness, and philanthropy. Many participants run to raise funds for various charities, and the event has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community.

After crossing the finish line at Bondi Beach, participants and spectators alike enjoy post-race festivities, including live music, food stalls, and entertainment.

Overall, City2Surf is a beloved event that showcases the vibrant spirit of Sydney and brings people together for a day of fun, fitness, and camaraderie.
