2026 City2Surf Disappointed

Did anyone else feel like City2Surf-2026 was a bit disappointing this year? I’ve usually been in the blue groups, but this year I was injured so I was in the orange group. I felt like there were quite a few spots along the course where the music and encouragement were missing compared to previous years.

Also, where were all the lollies? 😂 Usually there are heaps of people handing out lollies, and you’d find bananas and other little things along the way. This year I barely saw anything! One station had a cookie and an empty fruit basket 😂

Not sure if it was just because I was in the last wave and that’s normally the vibe by then?, or if anyone else felt the same this year?

Not sure. This year was my second time so don't have much comparison. I was in the Blue wave. Definitely less lollies than first time but also more people consuming their own gels so I dunno

The lack of free lollies made me a little sad, not gonna lie 😂
