Event Details
Course Description
Runners start at the Beree Badalla Boardwalk in Currumbin, enjoying a flat, coastal path that winds through native bushland and beachfront views. The 11.11km route follows a mix of sealed boardwalk and quiet streets, with gentle undulations suitable for all abilities. The 5km course stays entirely on the boardwalk, offering sea breezes and shaded sections. The junior 2.5km loop is a short, safe circuit around the parkland, perfect for families and young athletes. Aid stations provide water and snacks, and the finish line is at the event village with food trucks and entertainment.
Getting There
The start is located at the Beree Badalla Boardwalk, Currumbin. Limited on‑site parking is available near the boardwalk; we recommend car‑pooling or using the Gold Coast public transport. The nearest bus stop is on Currumbin Beach Road, a 5‑minute walk to the start. Arrive at least 30 minutes early to collect your race packet and warm up.
