ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO JUNIOR LIFEGUARD SCHOLARSHIPS AND DROWNING PREVENTION PROGRAMS!

The California Gold is a Lifeguard Ironman event based off of its Australian counter-part, the Coolangatta Gold. The 20 mile event consists of 4 legs (8 mile Surf ski, 1.3 mile Swim, 6 mile Paddle board, 5 mile Run).

The purpose of the event is to bring awareness of drowning, raise money toward junior lifeguard scholarships for low income youth and drowning prevention programs, as well as to embrace the athleticism, work ethic, and heroic spirit that Ben Carlson the Newport Beach Lifeguard who heroically lost his live while saving another embodied.

This year, the event will be on September 27, 2025. The goal is to raise $5000 which will be donated to lifeguard agencies at the event's after party.

Thank you for any and all help, spreading of word and donations!
