Gold Coast Ramble at Main Beach

Teams ready to Ramble at Broadbeach in 2025

Sunday 19 April 2026 | 09:00 AM

Main Beach

From colourful costumes to exciting prizes, it's more than just a fun day out – it’s an opportunity to build connections, show compassion, and make an impact.

The Ramble can best be described as a car rally on foot, with teams of costumed participants exploring the parks, malls and streets of Main Beach, following clues to locate 20 to 30 checkpoints over 2 hours.

At each checkpoint, the team use an App to download a challenge about the immediate area – this could relate to the heritage, the natural environment, street art or current infrastructure. The App will include team photos and videos this year. The Ramble is an outdoor event open to all levels of fitness – family and wheelchair friendly.

Random draw and best costume prizes reward participation. For the more competitive, completion of all checkpoint challenges in 2 hours involves strategy and teamwork. For families with younger children, there will be fun activities at many checkpoints and you do not have to complete every checkpoint to enjoy yourself and win prizes. Start planning now to get your team together, plan your costumes and get ready for Gold Coast's 'Amazing Race'.
