City2Surf<br />
PEGASUS POST<br />
Iconic event brings community together<br />
The Kadodo Western African band get the crowd warmed up before the start, including Alice Egan, 14, Isabelle O’Carroll, 15, and<br />
Bing Lin.<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
“THIS YEAR was special.”<br />
Star Media regional manager<br />
Steve McCaughan said this year’s<br />
45th fun run was one of the most<br />
poignant City2Surf events there<br />
has been.<br />
Thousands of Cantabrians<br />
turned out, entries were well<br />
up on 2<strong>01</strong>8, with a surge of last<br />
minute entries at the end of the<br />
week.<br />
Had it been any closer to the<br />
tragic terror attack of March 15<br />
that claimed 50 lives, Mr<br />
McCaughan said the City2Surf<br />
would not have gone ahead.<br />
Instead it was a chance to bring<br />
people together to have a positive<br />
distraction through the adversity,<br />
he said.<br />
“It felt like the first step that<br />
Cantabrians could take in the<br />
healing process and moving back<br />
to some normality . . . we needed<br />
this,” he said.<br />
“It brought people together<br />
to share in a community activity<br />
with the benefit of some physical<br />
activity.”<br />
There was also an increase in<br />
the number of small groups, with<br />
more people running in twos,<br />
threes and fours than usual, Mr<br />
McCaughan said.<br />
“People were getting together<br />
and saying let’s do this.”<br />
This year’s supporting charity<br />
was the Canterbury Charity<br />
Hospital Trust, which is currently<br />
offering free counselling following<br />
the Christchurch shootings.<br />
Maori health provider He<br />
Waka Tapu had 1200 people running,<br />
jogging and walking under<br />
its banner.<br />
The major prize, return flights<br />
to Singapore with Singapore<br />
Airlines, was won by one of its<br />
team.<br />
“There was a strong sense of elation<br />
at the finish line, more so than<br />
usual,” Mr McCaughan said.<br />
“People from almost every part<br />
of the community came over the<br />
line as one. It was inclusive, which<br />
is a value that New Zealanders<br />
have embraced.”<br />
