About 80,000 participants have taken to Sydney's streets for the annual City2Surf for charity on Sunday.
The 14-kilometer route from the city center through to Bondi Beach was set in 1971, with just over 1,500 people competing.
Participants have raised around three and a half million Australian dollars for over 950 charities. Meanwhile, 2016 champion Harry Summers defended his title in 42 minutes and 16 seconds.
Despite the hot weather, competitors took to the streets of Sydney in all types of weird and wacky costumes to celebrate the incredible fundraiser.
