Our 5km course starts and finishes from Queen Elizabeth Park, Coolangatta and follows the stunning Oceanway north to Kirra, before returning south to Coolangatta.
This is a completely flat, out and back course that rewards runners with some of the best ocean views around as the sun sets over the jaw-dropping Southern Gold Coast.
Upon returning to Coolangatta, experience the crowds cheering you home as you enter the head straight into the epic finish line within Queen Elizabeth Park where the party is just getting started.
Participants will complete one lap of this course, complete with course marshals, medical support and drink stations throughout.
A drink station will be positioned at at the half way point on the 5km course, providing cupped water.
We’ll have drinks on ice and snacks for you at the finish line in our recovery marquee.
