UC community shines at the 2026 City2Surf

16 March 2026

The University of Canterbury (UC) community came together on Sunday 15 March to take part in Ōtautahi Christchurch’s iconic FreshChoice City2Surf fun run event.

HOW TO APPLY

With the tagline walk, run, fun, the event is a favourite for UC staff and students with a round 100 sponsored to participate. Halls of residence students were also encouraged to get involved to meet new people as they begin studying at UC. 

The UC Rec Centre played a key role in encouraging and feeding participants, offering a relaxed atmosphere, food and drinks, and a shaded spot to rest. The UC Cheer squad also joined the festivities, cheering everyone along on the trail.

For the UC Rec&Sport team, the event is a great way to start the year. Staff reflected on the enjoyment of seeing participants grow in confidence and reconnecting with alumni – the beautiful Canterbury day only adding to the event buzz.
