Endurance athletes from across the nation can now mark their calendar with Minister Croft announcing the much anticipated dates for the Coolangatta Gold in 2012.


“It is with great pleasure I announce the Coolangatta Gold will be on again next year with the Gold Coast welcoming participants and spectators for the event on Sunday 14 October,” Ms Croft said.


2012 will be the 12th staging of the iconic event, first run in 1984 and the eighth consecutive event since Surf Life Saving included it as an annual fixture in 2005.
