The Sun-Herald City2Surf presented by Westpac will return to its iconic course on Sunday August 11, 2019 with registrations for the world’s largest fun run opening today.

The Sun-Herald City2Surf presented by Westpac is the LARGEST fun run in the world and we know we have an impact on Sydney - the people, the city and of course the environment! That’s why we work closely with local councils, event and supply partners to reduce our waste. We are endeavouring to reduce and remove our cups from landfill for 2018 and the future. Thanks to our good friends at Clean Oceans, BioPak, Dial A Dump and a local composting facility we have something exciting happening with our cups this year....
