No one has ever run the City 2 Surf faster than Steve Moneghetti. Back in 1991, the Ballarat-born athlete completed the 14km Sydney race in just 40:03 – a course record that’s yet to be beaten.

He has also won the Tokyo Marathon, the Berlin Marathon, the 1994 Commonwealth Games marathon and competed at four Olympic Games. Now aged 60, Moneghetti is officially retired but still runs “most days”.
