Shaw and Partners had 15 runners from all areas of the business take part in the annual City2Surf race on Sunday 11^th of August 2019.

The iconic race started at Hyde Park in the heart of Sydney’s CBD and snaked through Kings Cross, Rose Bay - including the notorious climb up Heartbreak Hill - and Vaucluse before finishing up in Bondi Beach, totalling 14km in distance.
