Man who hasn’t exercised in years chooses busiest day of Sculpture by the Sea to go for a topless run on the Bondi to Bronte path

PERFORMANCE ART: It wasn’t just the beautiful artwork attracting attention today at the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.

As visitors slowly navigated the overly congested Bondi to Bronte pathway, they were also forced to contend with a topless runner, dangerously weaving his way through the crowds.

“It was pretty frustrating to be honest,” one art lover told DBT.

“He came around a corner and almost knocked me off the track and down the cliff face near Mackenzies Bay.”

Onlookers were left to wonder why the man chose the busiest morning of Sculpture by the Sea to run on the narrow pathway.

“At one point I saw him bump into one of the sculptures, nearly dislodging it from the ground,” said another onlooker.

“Surely he could just go for a run on the beach or in a park instead.”

A DBT reporter gave chase to the runner, finally catching up with him for an interview outside the Bronte Surf Club.

“This is the first time I’ve done any exercise since 2019,” he admitted.

“Actually I’m also thinking of driving down to Double Bay this afternoon to run a few laps Transvaal Avenue.”
