Winners and grinners cross the City2Surf finish line
Gloomy weather didn't deter about 90,000 runners, walkers and costumed joggers who signed up to pound the pavement from Hyde Park to Bondi Beach, for the 55th annual City2Surf on Sunday morning. The world's largest fun run has raised $59 million since 2008, when the fundraising tally was first recorded, and more than $3.5 million was donated to support almost 600 charities this year. Isaac Heyne, a 25-year-old from Adelaide, won the men's race for the second year in a row, cutting 17 seconds from his winning time last year, but still 30 seconds shy of the race record time, set in 1991 by Steve Moneghetti. Heyne finished the 14km course in 40 minutes, 33 seconds, almost a minute ahead of the Australian 10km record holder, Samuel Clifford, on his City2Surf debut. Thomas Do Canto was nine seconds behind in third, after being the runner-up in both 2016 and 2017 and placing third last year. Twenty-year-old Sydneysider Bronte Oates won the women's race in a time of 45 minutes, 51 seconds, improving on her third-place finish last year, just 43 seconds off the record time, set by Susie Power in 2001. 'I've been doing fun runs for as long as I can remember, but I've started taking things more seriously over the past few years,' Oates said. Caitlin Adams, who trains with the Isaac Heyne in Adelaide, placed second on her City2Surf debut, 42 seconds behind the winner. And Ruby Smee placed third, 26 seconds behind Adams. The last group of runners left the CBD at 9.27am and the finish line will close at 1.50pm.

‘Gassed' but glorious: Isaac Heyne wins City2Surf ahead of 90,000 runners in dreary conditions
Isaac Heyne, 25, has won the Sydney City2Surf. The runner from Adelaide beat-out the other 90,000 other runners to cross the line first at Bondi Beach, Sydney, on Sunday. The city was filled with a colourful and quirky display as runners set off from College Street on the 14 kilometre course. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: City2Surf winner The event brings runners from across the board, including elite runners and those looking for some spirited exercise, which sold out this year for the second year in a row. Speaking to Sunrise immediately after the win, Heyne looked surprisingly fresh after his 40 minute and 33 second effort. Heyne said: 'I'm pretty gassed. 'It's a hard course so just let the pressure value loose. '(It's a) bloody hard (run). It's nice when you're running by yourself because you can control your effort. 'Sam (Clifford, competitor) is such a class athlete, so to have no idea where he is adds that level of pressure as well.' Heyne, a champion runner, failed to beat the 1991 record, but looked undeterred. 'I think I beat last year's time by 20 to 30 seconds, so yeah, that's a sign I'm in shape. 'It's really promising. Maybe the record can wait another year.' Following the race win, Henye said it would be indulging in some fast food. 'I'll go home, have a nap, have some Maccas (McDonald's) and then pick-up my girlfriend from the airport.' City2Surf road closures/reopening Roads around Hyde Park will be closed from 6am. Roads will begin reopening late in the morning, starting from 11.30am. Most roads are expected to be reopen by 4pm in Bondi and Bondi Junction.
