Just last Sunday, I'd just attended one of the most fun charity run in the world aka City2Surf in Sydney. Initially I thought, running around the city with a huge bunch of people, with the roads so packed, how fun could it be? Well, I was surprised by the things people come up with to make things fun! Dressing up as a fairy, carrying a balloon rhino, creating a cardboard train, dressing up as a weed, bear, running drunk, spraying water, bands playing, top naked guys... so many crazy things that it's easier to look at those photos from Sydney Morning herald website.
I went there with my college group, my in-house sensei (a Japanese lecturer staying over, a year since) ran the competitive league, while us useless runners ran the casual have-fun section, and we really do just that!
To give an idea of how many people there are... if you want exact numbers, these pictures only captures part of the 65,713 people!


We started out somewhere in the middle of the, Soul Back of the Pack. A nice cool way of saying the last people lolx! However, defying all expectations to actually participate, we actually went on a small detour to McDonald's for breakfast! And by the time we came back, we returned just in time to overtake the last police car checking for leftover people ;p
So, the road is so empty!! And I'm still eating my hash browns kekekeke

Now that there aren't many people around, we had the whole time in the world to pose for pictures at 'significant' landmarks!
We finally reached the 4th km mark! Everyone!! Show it out!

Halfway mark!! You can do it! Just another 2 more hours XD

The Flags of our Fathers...

Now the funnier things we did...
Holding hands through the shadows...

Huh! This run is not enough exercise!!

Haihz, only get to drink water after seeing two such streets.... We were so late that they are already packing up! >.<

The end point.. Bondi beach!! Woohoo!!

How we look like at the finish line. So tired >.<

The Ursies City2Surf International group ;p
