The race, made famous by the 1984 movie of the same name, will be known as the Shaw and Partners Financial Services Coolangatta Gold, returning to the Gold Coast from 15th-16th October 2022.
The event will not only welcome a new naming rights partner in Shaw and Partners Financial Services but will also introduce new events including the Downwind Paddle that covers 15km between Burleigh and Coolangatta.

“This year we will also introduce the Downwind Paddle that is open to members of the public across all disciplines of Ocean Ski, Paddle Board, Stand Up Paddle Board and OC1 Outrigger Canoes.
“Thanks to the support of Shaw and Partners Financial Services combined with Tourism & Events Queensland and Major Events Gold Coast, we are excited to have this iconic race kick start our summer of sport.”
Earl Evans Chief Executive Shaw and Partners Financial Services adds “we at Shaw and Partners Financial Services are just over the moon to be involved in this truly iconic world class event and partnering with SLSA.
