The Voltaren City2Surf has officially sold out for the third year in a row, with the world’s largest fun run having 90,000 runners registering to take part in 2026.

The event will return to the streets of Sydney on Sunday 9 August, with the 2026 event set to have a sea of runners make their way along the world famous 14km course between the CBD and Bondi Beach.

Leanna Ali, Voltaren City2Surf Regional Director, said that the team is thrilled to have the event sell out for the third year in a row.

“The support from runners this year has been incredible, and with 90,000 signing up to take part in the 2026 Voltaren City2Surf we are now officially sold out,” said Ali. “Thanks to our event partners and stakeholders for their ongoing support of the event and we look forward to another amazing day on Sunday 9 August.

“It’s incredible to be able to put up the sold-out sign more than six weeks out from the event with the people of Sydney clearly continuing their running era this year,” she said. “The last two years have been record breaking for the City2Surf with 90,000 registered runners in each edition of the iconic event and we can’t wait to see the same numbers again in 2026.

“The City2Surf holds a special place in the hearts of so many people in Sydney, it allows people to experience the best that Sydney has to offer and provides a great opportunity to come together,” said Ali. “The event also plays an important role for a number of charitable organisations, with City2Surf runners raising over $63 million for charities since 2008, and the event aiming to raise over $5 million this year.

“One of the things we love about the City2Surf is that it’s open to people of all abilities, with people running, walking, pushing prams, using wheelchairs and even dancing their way from the CBD to Bondi Beach. We love the community atmosphere of this event, with it bringing people from all walks of life together and is a great celebration of being active,” she said.

Runners and their supporters can make donations to their chosen charity through the fundraising section of the Voltaren City2Surf website.

The only way left to be on the start line of the 2026 event is through limited VIP Lane and Charity Superstar entries.
