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.
