Registrations are non-transferable between athletes, if you are unable to attend the race you will need to contact the team at city2surf@theironmangroup.com.  As stated in the Athlete Waiver, under no circumstance are you permitted to give your bib to another person. The safety of our athletes is paramount, therefore we need to ensure we have correct details of all our athletes on course.  

Wave starts will be confirmed for the 2024 event closer to event day. 

Full details on City2Surf Event terms and conditions can be found here.  Unfortunately, we do not have a deferral program for this event. 

Important: Please do not ask for an exception. Our Event terms and conditions are clearly stated and applied evenly, without exception.  

In the City2Surf, we have nine start waves that will have different start times and marshalling areas which are designed to reduce congestion on course. Your start wave that you have selected will be indicated on your Registration Confirmation and by the colour marked on your race bib. 

To help you have the best experience on the day, please select the start wave that’s right for you based on how long you think it will take you to complete the 14km course. Don’t worry! Your time will only begin and end as you cross the start and finish line timing mats. 

Open Start waves are available to enter for everyone, whereas qualifying start waves require evidence from the runner of being able to run 14km within a certain time. You can find out more here. 

An entry pass is an additional purchase you can make during your registration to pay for another adult (18+) at the current entry price. Once purchased, within 48 business hours, you'll then get sent an entry link that you can forward onto them to complete their registration! Note, they will need to complete this registration to be entered, and be allocated a start wave.
