City2Surf 2025 road closures and clearways

Published on 15 July 2025

Voltaren City2Surf is being held on Sunday 10 August 2025. The event is sold out.

The 14km event starts in Sydney’s CBD at the intersection of Park Street and College Street before participants make their way downhill on William Street and head up through the Kings Cross Tunnel.

The course continues along New South Head Road winding through Rose Bay, then up the infamous Heartbreak Hill, presented by AIA - the halfway point and one of the most scenic parts of the course.

Runners then turn the corner at Vaucluse onto Old South Head Road, then Military Road and down the hill as they take in breathtaking ocean views, before completing a turnaround at Curlewis Street, and crossing the finish line on Queen Elizabeth Drive at Bondi.
