17.01.2022 *Event Update* Over recent months we have remained optimistic that we would be still able to hold a physical Sun-Herald City2Surf event on 18 October 2020 alongside our new City2Surf Virtual Run. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and current NSW Government restrictions on mass gatherings, a physical event cannot take place as planned. Its disappointing, but we were prepared for this, and we will continue to focus all our efforts on bringing to life an ex...ceptional City2Surf Virtual Run experience for you as we celebrate 50 years of fun virtually on 18 October 2020. Since launching the City2Surf Virtual Run three weeks ago, over 6,000 people have registered, and theyll be running their local streets with heart this October! If youre not sure whether to join the celebrations, heres five reasons why we think you should: 1 Its our 50th celebration join us and get a real-life medal to prove it 2 Use this opportunity to fundraise to help those that need it most. So far, weve raised over $90,000 dollars 3 Make it social and run with your besties and keep it COVID safe 4 Spring is here, so use the event as an excuse to get fit and healthy 5 You can run to your own beat anywhere, with anyone, anyway you like (except on a treadmill) If thats not enough, we have a little something coming very soon to help entice you and your friends to get involved watch this space next week to find what goodies could be coming your way! We hope you can join us this October! The City2Surf Virtual Run Team

14.01.2022 Why do you run? Over the past 49 years, The Sun-Herald City2Surf has transformed from a humble, local road race to the worlds largest fun run attracting 85,000+ participants each year and now, for our 50th running of this iconic event, were going virtual! You are an important part of that long and rich history - whether its as one of our 24 legends that have done every event, or at the front of the field as an elite... or maybe youre the one down the back, in a costume... with your mates. Maybe youre yet to run a City2Surf, but its on your bucket list we all run for different reasons. We asked a few of our team why they run heres what they had to say: I run for the feeling you get when you are running outside in the fresh air. The improvements are a bonus. - Emma, Partnerships I run as there is no better way to clear your head, especially as I get to take in the stunning views of Sydney Harbour! - Lauren, Operations I run to beat Marty - Devon, Marketing I run to help my mental health and to challenge myself to run faster. I also run to show Devon how real runners run - Marty, Operations (theres a bit of rivalry here!) I run to catch up with friends who have a shared interest in staying fit. Otherwise wed probably just drink more often! - Tanya, Partnerships I run to mentally zone out for a while and so I feel less bad for buying the half-price chocolate bar at the supermarket checkout - Ryan, Marketing Wed love to hear your stories on why you run. For your chance to win a FREE entry to City2Surf Virtual Run 2020 everyday for you or a friend until September 13, tell us why you run with the hashtag #C2SVRWhyIRun across Facebook or Instagram (make sure your profile is on public!)

08.01.2022 Good news story Meet George Wardell. George is one of our City2Surf Legends who has completed 49 years of #City2Surf. On Fathers Day this year, George and his son Matt commemorated the 50th year running of City2Surf by taking off from Town Hall to Bondi... But we think you should hear about it from the words of Matt...... "50 years later almost to the day, Dad and I lined up under the clock tower on Fathers Day, 06 Sept 2020, for a lonely run to Bondi. No crowd this year - just quiet streets at 8am on a spring morning. Today, we ran the old course from the Town Hall itself, over the top at Kings Cross, and right to the end of Campbell Parade at Bondi before swinging back to the Pavilion for old times sake. No drinks stations either, but a beautiful day for a run with the lightest of breezes and sparkling harbour sunlight at Rose Bay. No one gave us a second look on our journey, the cheering crowds replaced by appropriately small socially-distanced groups in coffee shops in Vaucluse and Double Bay along the way, and the cyclists, joggers and dog-walkers out for their exercise fix. But the sense of achievement is still there, and Im glad Ive been able to share this annual tradition with Dad since 1982. Not sure how many more we have in us, but thanks Dad - and happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there!" Thanks so much for sharing this story Matt, and congratulations George & Matt for your #50YearsOfFun! Will you be joining us on Sunday, October 18? #City2SurfVR #LetsRunSydney **Please note, participants are not permitted to complete the Virtual Race on the actual City2Surf course on October 18.
