About
Tradies
S2S

Tradies Sutherland 2 Surf is one of the Sutherland Shire’s most iconic community events, bringing together thousands of runners, walkers, families and teams each July for an 11km journey from Sutherland to the shores of Wanda Beach.

More than just a race, S2S is a celebration of community spirit, local pride and healthy living. Proudly organised by Wanda Surf Life Saving Club, the event is also the Club’s major annual fundraiser, helping to support our volunteer surf lifesavers with essential training and lifesaving equipment.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, taking it at your own pace, or walking alongside friends and family, S2S is an event for everyone — a day where the whole community comes together.

Course

info

The 11km course starts in Flora Street, Sutherland (between Merton and Belmont Streets) and winds its way to the finish line at Don Lucas Reserve in Cronulla.

It’s a course that welcomes everyone — whether it’s your first time or you’re coming back to beat your best. Along the way, you’ll be cheered on by locals, volunteers and supporters, all the way to a fun, beachside finish in the event village.

schedule

Race morning starts bright and early, with the official start time at 7:30am sharp. Participants are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start to allow time for self-seeding and final preparations.

Results are available in real time throughout the morning, and winner presentations are planned for approximately 9:30am once results are confirmed.

The finish line area will be packed down by 11:00am as roads progressively reopen and the site is returned to the public.

Traffic
Plan

Roads around the start line close from 5:00am. Major roads along the route close from 7:00am and progressively reopen in an eastbound direction from 8:20am. All roads are expected to reopen by 10:45am, subject to conditions on the day. Rolling road openings mean that participants who fall behind reopening times may be directed onto the footpath for safety.

As a guide, aim to pass:

  • Gymea TAFE by 8:00am
  • Kiora Road by 8:40am
  • Sutherland Hospital by 8:55am
