• City2surf is the largest enjoyable collection in the world, with more than 80,000 contestants hitting the Sidney streets every August.
• It is 14 km long from Sydney’s pure energy, from the Biological Diversity Agreement to Bondi, via the zebra, but the botonic.
• This year’s race begins on August 10 and is open to hostility of all shapes, speed and fashion options.

When I first landed in Australia three years ago, my alleged career started finding her legs. Like most people, I picked it while insurance. Sports halls were closed throughout Europe, and I was wandering around the edges, and I needed an excuse to move (and let us be honest, we breathe something other than recycled air).

But running in the streets of Amsterdam paved with gravel, although the witch in theory, was cold, wet and near the passenger passengers, the awards and the side rains. So when I finally arrived in the streets of Sydney, it looked like a new type of hostility. Warm, rays, with beach views.

Since then it has become a non-negotiable obsession. I am looking for weekends when I can pour the sidewalk and hit the sidewalk early on Saturday morning. Of course, it is good to cleanse your head. But it is society, too, the rhythm. Sometimes, it can be from chasing something. New PB. The sunrise is above the port. And does not take any race this feeling completely City2surf.

Part of the Ironman Australia family, City2surf is the largest enjoyable tour of the country – it’s pass rituals for many Sydneysiders and expatriates like me, whether you are an experienced club or just start.

It was first held in 1971, designed similar to the San Francisco Bay to stand and soon took her own life. What started with more than 2000 contestants has now grown to the 14 km street party with more than 80,000 participants bombing the pavement from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach.

But besides the numbers and finishing line, the smell of sweat with thousands of us who wanders in Bondi is the first thing in the morning, City2surf revolves around society. It is a celebration of Sidni in the most open and unconscious: from serious athletes to barefoot children, and the collection of donations who wear Toto to screaming without a shirt in the coating of war. There is always this person who runs in the refrigerator.

The same road is creative. You start in the city, slide through Pots Point, and expand the notorious Herubrick Hill at six kilometers, then wander in northern Bondi with the Pacific Ocean on your left and they are thousands of chanting from the side lines. He is punishable by she is sophisticated. It definitely helps to get the first half -liter on the beach road after that.

This year’s race begins on August 10, and if you have ever invaded the idea of ​​fun running, then this is what must be adhered to. It will be my first time.
