The Sun-Herald City2Surf 2013
This epic test of stamina and virtue is hard to miss even on the laziest of radars.
Overview
Anyone in Sydney who considers themselves a Sider knows the The Sun-Herald City2Surf presented by Westpac. What with it being the largest event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 85,000 participants from elite athletes to fun-run-loving locals last year alone, this charity fundraiser/epic test of stamina and virtue is hard to miss even on the laziest of radars.
Wholly owned and organised by The Sun-Herald since its humble beginnings 42 years ago, this ain't a casual saunter through the park. As the name suggests, this is 14km of walking, jogging and hardcore PB-busting running as partakers make their way from the CBD to the sands of Bondi via the winding roads and hills of the eastern suburbs.
Last year $4,173,915 was raised for charities across Australia and the day saw six marriage proposals, 17 Spidermen and one naked dude's bits flap about to name just a few memorable moments. Followed, of course, by plenty of forgettable ones, after heaps of well-earned boozing by the beach.
