Mapleton, Sunshine Coast, QLD
Hells Bells is a non-stop 24hr adventure race in the Sunshine Coast from 8 to 9 August 2026 involving trekking, mountain biking, kayaking and other adventure disciplines.
Teams of 2 or 4 must navigate their way unsupported through an arduous course that is only revealed to them hours before the race.
Fairy Bells adventure race is run at the same time as Hells Bells. It covers about half the distance but teams have the full 24hrs to complete it. This race is designed as a stepping stone to Hells Bells and longer races and is perfect for teams doing their first adventure race.
Each year a new and exciting course is developed. Courses are normally linear with teams often transported to the start line and finishing back at race HQ.
