Seriously? Can this renowned 24hr adventure race possibly retain it’s tough reputation at such a relaxed and self indulgent holiday spot? The answer is yes, organisers have designed a traditional linear adventure racing course where competitors will be transported by bus to the start, up to 100 km away! It will take in both the Sunshine Coast and hinterland incorporating some “local knowledge only†spots that can only be described as magic.<br />
<br />
Hells Bells and Fairy Bells are designed to be "race friendly" for interstate and New Zealand teams. The race is unsupported, kayaks are provided and there are assistance options for teams travelling to the event. Many interstate and overseas teams race the event, this year including the winning teams from the Rat Race in the ACT, the Maximum Adventure 24hr race in NSW and Caffeinated 24hr race in WA. Entries are limited so don’t miss out.<br />
<br />
Teams of three in the categories of Premier Mixed, All Male and All Female will be treated to a range of adventure disciplines. Trekking will be in forested areas, cross country, walking trails and beaches. The mountain biking will take in forest roads, fire trails and an extensive section of awesome single track. The kayaking will be on beautiful inland waterways. For 2009 teams will attempt two different roping sections, no experience or equipment needed, just a sense of adventure! Finally the new discipline of Target Archery will be included where dexterous teams may gain a few minutes advantage on their competition with some sharp shooting.<br />
