Thinking about signing up for your first fun run? Turns out you don’t have to look far.
Sutherland 2 Surf has just been named one of Australia’s best fun runs for beginners, tying for the top spot alongside the Blacktown Mayoral Fun Run in a national guide by Net World Sports:

The ranking looked at things like course simplicity, affordability and overall experience — and S2S stood out for all the right reasons.
And honestly, it makes sense.
An 11km run from Sutherland down to Wanda Beach, the course is straightforward, achievable and — let’s be honest — pretty hard to beat when you’re finishing by the ocean. It’s the kind of event where you can take it at your own pace, whether you’re running, jogging or mixing in a bit of both.
But what really makes S2S special is the feel of the day.
It’s welcoming, it’s community-driven, and there’s a spot for everyone — first-timers, families, groups of mates, and those chasing a personal best. You’re just as likely to see someone doing their very first event as you are someone lining up year after year.
Run by Wanda Surf Life Saving Club, it’s also about something bigger — bringing the community together while raising funds to help keep our beaches safe.
So if you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, this might be your sign.
No pressure, no expectations — just a great run, a great atmosphere, and a finish line right by the beach.
