Mooloolaba is located 60mins north drive north of Brisbane and just 20mins from the Sunshine Coast airport.
Over 400 competitors, and supporters from around south east Queensland and country will attend the Mountain Designs Hells Bells 24hr Adventure Race over the 7-8 August 2021 weekend.
We expect this year to be one of Hells Bells biggest, and with entries open until 4 August teams should get in quick as numbers are limited.

Mountain Designs Hells Bells involves 24hrs of non-stop endurance racing in the major disciplines of trekking, mountain biking and kayaking. Mixed, Male or Female teams of two or four must navigate their way through an arduous 120+km course that is only revealed to them the day of the race. The Mountain Designs Hells Bells is held annually in August on the Sunshine Coast and is Australia’s longest running 24hr Adventure Race. The race is moved each year to a different location between Bribie Island in the South and Rainbow Beach in the North with exciting new challenges for the teams.
The ‘Fairy Bells’ adventure race is run at the same time as the Mountain Designs Hells Bells. It covers only half the distance but teams have the full 24hrs to complete it. The legs will be challenging, but with the additional time available to complete the half course, teams have a greater chance to reach the finish line.
Teams will also score points in the Adventure Racing World Series Oceania rankings, through which teams can qualify for the Regional and World Championships.
The event receives enormous support from its major sponsor Mountain Designs each year.

The race is organised by Wild and Co. who run adventure sports competitions throughout the year (www.wldnco.com) and is part of the ARWS Oceania series (arworldseries.com/arws-oceania).
