Australia’s annual City2Surf charity fun run has returned to the streets of Sydney after COVID-19 restrictions saw the main event scuttled for two years.

Huge crowds of brightly-dressed runners completed the race from Hyde Park to Bondi in the winter sunshine on Sunday morning as the race returned for its 50th year.
