Swimrun Australia's Gold Coast event on 12 September 2026 is on a stunning course spanning kilometres of the famed golden sands of the Gold Coast.

This fast-growing adventure format blends multiple trail runs and open water swims into one continuous course; no transitions, no gear changes. Entrants run in their swim gear and swim in their shoes, carrying everything from start to finish. Around 80% of the course is running, with swims offering a cool-down and reset.

The Gold Coast course is set between Rainbow Bay and Miami, and serves up coastal variety and feel-good vibes. You’ll run across hard-packed beaches, oceanfront trails, and creekside boardwalks, with short, accessible swim sections through the clear waters of Currumbin and Tallebudgera Creeks, plus a few playful surf swims to keep things interesting.

With multiple distances on offer, there is a challenge for every competitor. Compete as a solo entrant of in teams of two (experience and enduro courses). Teams must complete the entire course together and help each other through diverse terrain to beat the course and reach the finish line.
