The Coolangatta Gold is one of the most iconic and challenging multi-discipline races in Australia. A 46 kilometre test of endurance comprising an ocean swim, surf-ski, board paddle and run – it is the longest race of its kind in the world. With distances & age categories ranging from under-19s to masters, plus team events, the Coolangatta Gold has something for everyone.
