About this event
Hell of the West Weekend is Goondiwindi’s iconic long course triathlon weekend, returning in 2027 for its 36th year. Set over the weekend of 6 and 7 March, it brings together the main Hell of the West Triathlon and a packed program of Super Saturday events for athletes of all ages and abilities.
Known as one of Queensland’s toughest and oldest triathlons, the main event features a two kilometre swim in the Macintyre River, an 80 kilometre cycle along the Barwon Highway, and a 20 kilometre run beside the river. The 2026 program also introduced AquaBike on Sunday, offering the same course and start time without the run.
The weekend has a strong community feel and is run by the Goondiwindi Triathlon Club, with a reputation for country hospitality and a supportive atmosphere. Alongside the headline race, Super Saturday includes the Hell Kids Triathlon, Firestarter Triathlon, and the five and 10 kilometre Inferno Charity Runs.
Popular with seasoned triathletes, first-timers, relay teams, and athletes using it as part of Ironman preparation, Hell of the West Weekend has become a true bucket-list event for many competitors.
