The City to Surf website says its now the “World’s biggest running event."
"You can see about a quarter perhaps of the 75,000 runners — waiting to start — in this panorama. The race starts quite early in the day and it is often chilly — whence the tops you can see discarded on the hedges in the panorama."
Michael Shelley won the 2009 Sun-Herald City2Surf, crossing the Bondi finish line with a time of 41:02 minutes. And Melinda Vernon was the women’s champion in a time of 47:46 minutes, almost two minutes faster than her time last year.
