We know how popular City2Surf is, and with that sometimes comes unofficial posts or offers for entries. Just a friendly reminder:
Your safety is our top priority. Every runner must be registered under their own name – it’s a condition of entry.
If you see someone offering entries for sale, it’s best to steer clear – we want to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience on the day.
There are strictly no resale or ticket transfers for this event. Please do not attempt to purchase any third-party entries for the 2026 Voltaren City2Surf once all entries are sold out.
Please see your race start group time below, we reccomend arriving 30 minutes prior to your official race start
Anyone already registered in a start group can start the run in a later starting group without needing to change their race bib. Simply begin in the later start group you wish to be moved to. Due to capacity limitations, starting in an earlier start group is not possible and may result in disqualification if attempted.
If you have lost or damaged your race bib or timing chip you will need to collect a replacement from Race Bib Collection at the City2Surf Expo (see Expo opening times here)
Race bib postage is available as an optional purchase of $12.00 until 5pm AEST Thu 21 May. Individual postage addresses can be updated up until June 14 2026. Registrants who have not selected postage will need to collect their bib from Expo during race week. If you are unable to attend Expo, someone will need to collect this on your behalf. You will need to provide them with a copy of your registration confirmation.
If you do not select race bib postage, you will need to collect your race bib from the City2Surf Expo at The Hordern Pavilion,1 Driver Ave, Moore Park, NSW, 2021.

If you opted for postage and you race bib has not arrived 2 days prior to the event it has been returned to sender due to an incorrect address. In this instance, you will be required to collect your race bib from C2S Expo. Our individual race bibs do not have tracking, so we cannot provide a tracking number.
