City to Surf Event Raises Over $202k for Disability Support

The annual Chevron City to Surf event took place on Sunday morning in Perth, attracting tens of thousands of participants from all walks of life. The fun run, which started in the heart of the CBD and finished at City Beach Oval, offered multiple distances and waves for runners, walkers, and rollers of all abilities.

With almost 35,000 participants taking part, the event was a remarkable sight as thousands of sprightly runners flooded roads usually packed with cars. The sea of blue from event shirts created a vibrant atmosphere, but some participants went above and beyond with their race-day looks.

Tutus aplenty, bananas on the run, and fairy wings fluttering through the crowd made for an array of colourful and wonderfully wacky costumes. By Sunday afternoon, the event had raised just over $202,000 towards its $500,000 goal, with donations still able to be made online.
