Chevron City to Surf for Activ
LocationPerth, Western Australia
Distance4 or 12 kilometres
Established23 February 1975

The City to Surf is a popular road running event held annually in Perth, Western Australia, in which participants race from the CBD to City Beach, a distance of approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi). A shorter 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) course is also held in conjunction. The event is both a "fun run" and a race, attracting both serious runners and community participants who can choose to run or to walk.

The annual event has historically drawn more than 40,000 competitors on the last Sunday in August.[1]

History

[edit]

The first City to Surf was held on 23 February 1975 with 500 participants. Since its inception, the 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) course has consistently started on St Georges Terrace at the Perth City Council Chambers and finished at Jubilee Park in City Beach.[2] The first male winner of the 12km event was Tim Walsh in 38 minutes and 6 seconds. The first woman to cross the finish line was Peta Carr in 58.18.[3]

In 2009, the City to Surf held its inaugural marathon.[4]

The City to Surf had a three-year hiatus between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

12km winners

[edit]

The previously certified 12km course was adjusted in 2017, removing 303 metres (994 ft) from the total distance, so records set in those years are marked with an asterisk.
