The Organising Committee has revealed fans will not be charged at the road cycling, time trial, marathon and race walking events, which are all due be held on the Currumbin beachfront.

Organisers are also predicting that a cumulative audience of 1.5 billion people will take in the action across the four sports on television.

It comes as part of Gold Coast 2018’s “Share the Dream” campaign, which aims to get as many Australian residents involved in the event, scheduled to run from April 4 to 15.

"I want the TV images beaming out to the world to show off our two greatest assets - the natural beauty of the Gold Coast and the warmth of the people,” Minister for the Commonwealth Games Stirling Hinchliffe said.

"These four free events will be great moments of athletic ability, but also of community fun and activity.

"I urge all Gold Coasters to circle the dates now to get a touch of the Commonwealth Games right from their doorsteps."

Gold Coast are also set to offer art and cultural programmes outside of the sporting events for free.

Further details on the scheme, developed by the Queensland Government and the city itself, are expected to be released next year.

"These medal events are a big part of the largest programme ever in Commonwealth Games history with 18 sports and seven Para-sports," Gold Coast 2018 chairman Peter Beattie said.

"On top of the global television audience, these events offer an exceptional opportunity for spectators to showcase the Gold Coast and Queensland to the world through social media.

"Details of the routes are currently being planned, but we guarantee they will all offer great pictures, top class courses and a great chance for everyone to get up close to the athletes to cheer them on.

"Accessibility will be a major consideration in the planning, ensuring every single Gold Coaster and visitor to the city can be a part of the biggest sporting event in Australia this decade."

Australian Commonwealth Games Association chief executive Craig Phillips has urged locals to get involved by heading down to the picturesque Currumbin beachfront venue to witness Commonwealth Games champions being crowned.

"The crowds on course really lift every athlete and I’d say to anyone that hasn’t witnessed a road event to get out and take advantage of the opportunity in 2018," he said.

 "It will be a great way to see sport at its best in a truly amazing city."
