City to Surf Perth

From the CBD out to City Beach, City to Surf Perth feels like a local rite of passage rather than a slick event. It has been held annually since 1975. The description “WA's most iconic community fun run” is fitting because the event is centered on people participating together, not solely on achieving a fast time. The course is a direct point-to-point run "from CBD to the shore," with the beach finish providing a significant emotional payoff. A shorter option concludes at City Beach. The event actively supports WA's disabled community; as one participant remarked, "You finish at City Beach, man, yeah, it's epic."
