An epic coastal adventure combining ocean swimming and running through some of the Gold Coast’s most beautiful beaches and waterways.
A spectacular journey along our famous southern coastline, combining ocean swimming and coastal running in one unforgettable race. Starting at some of the Gold Coast’s most iconic beaches and finishing at Miami, participants will experience crystal-clear water, sandy shores, rocky headlands, and breathtaking ocean views.
Originally born in the Swedish islands, swimrun is one of the world’s fastest-growing adventure sports. The unique challenge is simple: swim, run, repeat. Participants move through a course featuring multiple swim and run legs, completing the entire journey in their shoes and swim gear.
Distances
- Discovery: 5km – A fun and achievable introduction to swimrun from Tallebudgera Creek to Miami.
- Experience: 12km – A stunning coastal journey from Currumbin Beach to Miami.
- Enduro: 20km – The ultimate Gold Coast challenge, travelling from Rainbow Bay to Miami.
Participants can enter solo or team up with a partner in selected distances.
More than a race, Swimrun Australia is a celebration of adventure, connection, and the outdoors. Expect an incredible atmosphere, supportive community, professional safety, and a finish line celebration by the beach.
The experience is the reward. Go get it.
