City2South a 'fantastic' event
Runners relive the "amazing" feeling of completing the Brisbane Times City2South fun run on Sunday.
There was also going to be an open-air cinema screening of the extended version of the award-winning Lion, at The University of Queensland.
The City2South caters to runners of all experience levels, from elite distance runners to amateurs.
A revamped and more accessible five-kilometre course was introduced, starting at UQ's St Lucia campus and finishing at South Brisbane's Musgrave Park.
It partnered a 14-kilometre course starting on William Street in the CBD, finishing at Musgrave Park and crossing the Brisbane River three times.
Fairfax Events Head of Sport, Sarah Young, said she looked forward to the Brisbane event setting the tone for a successful city-run series.
"We're excited to bring this year's revamped City2South to Brisbane, with a renewed focus on health and wellness for people of all fitness levels."
The City2South will again partner with hundreds of Australian charities and set the goal of raising more than $125,000 for a wide range of worthy causes.
The 2016 event was a great success, with lingering rain holding off and more than $100,000 raised by more than 5000 participants.
