Goondiwindi Hell of the West Weekend

Goondiwindi Town Park and Surrounds

The Hell of the West Weekend in Goondiwindi is in its 37th year in 2027 and is a weekend encompassing the Hell of the West Triathlon and the Super Saturday events. Described as Queensland's iconic long course triathlon event, HOTW is the "toughest (and oldest) triathlons in Queensland" consisting of a 2 kilometre swim in the mighty Macintyre River, 80 kilometre "dead flat" cycle along the Barwon Highway heading west and along Goodar Road and then a 20 kilometre 'hot as hell' run along the picturesque Macintyre River. In 2026 we introduced the AquaBike to enhance the Sunday event even further! Same track, same start time, just no run. Many athletes use the triathlon as part of their Ironman training sessions, some athletes use it as their first long course triathlon and many athletes compete as part of a team, just to add to the spirit of sportsmanship. It's a 'bucket list' triathlon for all triathletes worldwide. Hell of the West Weekend encompasses events for all fitness levels and ages. Super Saturday Events include: Hell Kids Triathlon Firestarter Triathlon 5 and 10 kilometre Inferno Charity Runs. HOTW Weekend is a community run event presented by the Goondiwindi Triathlon Club and known for its country hospitality and welcoming and supportive community spirit.
