Isaac Heyne and Bronte Oates Win 55th City2Surf, Raising A$3.5 Million for Charity

Extensive closures in Sydney’s CBD facilitated smooth passage of the 14km fun run through Eastern Suburbs.

Overview

  • Isaac Heyne defended his title with a 40-minute, 33-second finish that edged closer to Steve Moneghetti’s 1991 record.
  • Bronte Oates improved on last year’s podium to claim the women’s title in 45 minutes, 51 seconds.
  • Nearly 90,000 runners, walkers and costumed participants tackled the 14km course from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach.
  • Event organisers reported more than A$3.5 million raised for almost 600 charities, adding to the A$59 million total since 2008.
  • Roads began reopening from late morning, with clearways in key CBD and Eastern Suburbs routes managed by NSW Police to minimise disruption.
