    Must do in August each year

    An excellent organised community event.

    The city to surf is a great day/weekend in Sydney. It is extremely well organised and while the run itself is quite difficult, getting to and from is easy. This is a must do!

    This was my first City2Surf, and it was an awesome experience. The organisation of so many people into and out of both the start area at Hyde Park and the finish at Bondi was smooth and trouble free. The course is scenic, challenging and engaging,...More

    This event is really amazing. More than 80,000 runners from the Sydney CBD to the iconic Bondi Beach. The organisation is perfect for guiding the masses through the Sydney streets and over heartbreak hill. Do not under estimate this climb from Rose Bay to Vaucluse!...More

    Central Business District
    The Sydney Central Business District is abuzz with
    energy. Power brokers run to and from high rise
    buildings and after-work drink places, high-end
    shoppers tour venues like the QVB, and fine diners
    frequent the many celebrity chef restaurants. For a
    dose of culture, walk to the NSW Art Gallery, or visit
    the Sydney Museum. To escape the hustle and bustle,
    reconnect with nature at the Sydney Botanical Gardens
