Get ready for the Shaw and Partners Financial Services Coolangatta Gold, where endurance and a bit of madness collide at the stunning Coolangatta this October 14. It's a weekend packed with four events that celebrate a whopping 40 years of what is probably the only race that makes a movie plot almost seem plausible. Picture it: top athletes pushing their limits while you try to figure out how to avoid sunburn on the beach. This isn't just your average jog in the park; it's a 21-kilometre Short Course run and a gut-busting 41.8-kilometre Long Course that tosses swimming, running, board paddling, and surf skiing into the mix. Think of it as a triathlon on caffeinated steroids.

But wait, there's more. The 2024 edition is stepping up its game with a Youth Challenge and a Downwind Paddle as part of the Shaw and Partners Australian Ocean Racing Series. If you've got a few young legends in the family or just fancy the idea of being blasted by ocean winds, this event has got you covered. Just a heads up, keeping it cool means you might want to consider hopping on public transport or grabbing your bike instead of parking hassle. Good luck finding a spot, and if you do end up bringing the car, make sure to download the EasyPark app so you don't end up with a fine bigger than your ambition to dive into the surf.
