Adam Spencer discussed the City2Surf race on ABC 702 Sydney's Breakfast program. He noted that while Ben St Lawrence won the overall race, Ron Gibson, a paraplegic man using a hand cycle, was the first person across the finish line. However, as Gibson started after the main race began due to special exemption from ParaQuad NSW, he will not be recognized as the official winner. ParaQuad NSW hopes Gibson's participation will help competitive wheelchair racers and paracyclists compete in their own divisions in future City2Surf races.
