The race is 14 kilometres long. It starts in the centre of the city and finishes at a surf beach called Bondi. That is why it is called the City to Surf.

    All kinds of people run in the city to surf. Old people take part in the race, too. In 1981, the oldest runners were an 81-year-old man and his sister Linda, 76, who was the last runner to finish. At the end of the race, there is a special person who writes down the runners’ names and running time. The names and running time of the runners would be on the newspaper a few days later. In 1981, it took the first runner just 40 minutes to run the race, and it took the last runner two and a half hours.
