wow! that has sure come up in price over the past couple of years. I cringed at $40 last time I did it.
Why would anyone pay to run?
Exactly.
I've done C2S for free by arriving at the start just after the last starters leave (90min?). Within no time you catch up to the slow coaches. Just don't take their refreshments along the way and there's nothing you're really doing wrong.
early bird was $65. Basically extending the early bird price (without delivery of bibs though)
@PresidentClinton: It's for charity.
if you actually read the website - 90% actually goes to admin related costs (e.g. shutting and barricading off CBD roads, chest bib and timing tag, finisher’s medal, Public transport to and from the event, Baggage transport etc).
"An event as large as the City2Surf (covering a distance of 14km and attracting more than 85,000 people), is very expensive to organise and execute each year."The charities then receive a small donation for their volunteer work (only charities that volunteered on a per head basis - so equiv of paying admin staff). "Representatives from various community organisations all over Sydney such as Rotary and Lions Clubs, Scouts and Girl Guides, various sporting groups, volunteer bush fire brigades, State Emergency Services, St John Ambulance and school groups help out on the day. Each of these organisations receives a per volunteer donation in appreciation for their assistance."
The only ways to make donation properly are:
There are three ways you or your team can raise money for your chosen charity with the City2Surf.- Become one of our Gold Charity Runners (i.e. only Gold Runners are donating)
- Raising money with the help of Everyday Hero (i.e. separate to the entry fee)
- Make a one-off donation
Therefore, just running in the City2Surf (the $65) does not actually go to charity. You will need to do one of the 3 above if intending to actually support the charities.
Wow! C2S has gotten expensive! I haven't done it in about 5 years due to having children but it was no where near that price when I did it last. Maybe $20/$30. Considering more people do it every year you would expect the price to go down rather than up.
abit pricey but totally worthit
The code still works! SURF10
Normally $75… is overpriced…
