THOUSANDS OF people will be<br />
pounding the pavements and roads at the<br />
annual City2Surf on Sunday.<br />
It’s Christchurch’s iconic event, which<br />
The Star has put on for decades.<br />
This year it will be the 45th time the<br />
event has been held. It used to go from the Square out to<br />
QE II, but a certain event on February 22, 2011, changed all of<br />
that. It now goes from Centennial Park and Hansen Park to<br />
Ferrymead.<br />
Each year there is a buzz as thousands gather in the parks<br />
for the challenge that lies ahead – whether it be going as fast<br />
as you can, or simply completing the journey for personal<br />
satisfaction.<br />
On page 11 today, we talk to some of the people taking part.<br />
