Beautiful seaside homes add to the appeal of running in Gold Coast. There are a number of fantastic neighborhoods to choose from, but the main neighborhood of Gold Coast is one of our favorites. Here, runners can explore the fingers of streets that stretch into the waterways of the Nerang River. Some of the best roads reach out from Benowa: Cabana Boulevard, Sir Bruce Small Boulevard, Charolais Crescent, and Edinburgh Road. This route is about 5 miles.
