The Insomnia 24 Hour Mountain Bike Festival is held annually at a stunning location 30mins North of Brisbane, Queensland. The feature is a 24 hour mountain bike race but is supported by a raft of festivities including live music, food stalls, competitions, displays, demos, corporate tents and all weekend camping. At the event centre, Pit Lane is the hub of all event happenings. It is lined with all sorts of vendors and stretches from the transition area next to the lake, right down to the main entertainment stage. The festival is open to the public and competitors alike. Gates open 3pm Friday with the main race starting midday Saturday and finishing midday Sunday.

The racing track is 17.5kms long and organisers have enhanced the already extensive single track to provide one of the most ridable and enjoyable 24 hour courses in the country. It is characterized as easy to moderate difficulty with gentle undulations and wide passing lanes. Speed and curves are what this course is all about! One highlight for riders and spectators alike is the two-third point of each lap which passes right in front of the main music stage.

Dates are set for 21-23 June 2008.
