Australia’s biggest and most popular community fun run _ City 2 Surf was held on
10th August (Sunday). The annual event, which started in 1971, has become a
landmark for Sydney every year, as record 71,000 participants ran/walk/stroll 14 km
from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach on Sunday.

For the first time in 2008 everyone in the City2Surf were provided with a Timing
Chip to tie into their shoe laces. This means you’ll get an exact accurate finishing
time from when your feet cross the start line sensors until they pass the finish line
sensors at Bondi beach.
