City 2 Surf 2011








Bondi Beach was the palce to be this weekend. the worlds biggest race, The Sydney City 2 Surf , took 85000 runners from Hyde Park all the way to the shore line at Bondi Beach.




Amongst this immense crowd stood 9 very proud Youtopians! Bearing our bib numbers and snugly fitting T- shirts, we descended on the start line without so much as a shudder to the adverse weather conditions at the start of the race. At 8am the first gun was fired to start the dash from City to Surf  followed by wave after wave of eager runners out to compete in this amazing race!




Having such a diverse range of abilities at Youtopia, every wave of this race saw a Youtopian slog it out to the finish line. From the Orange bibs at the back of the pack right through to the Elite red bib holders at the front, the race was ran superbly by all involved. Heartbreak Hill was as arduous as always but not one of our Youtopia Crowd let it get the better of them , ploughing through to reach the top and then it was literally all down hill from there in a sprint for the finish line!

The sprint finishes were fuelled by the huge crowd of supporters at Bondi Beach as the finish line came into full view. And the proof that all the hard work and training paid off ?......
