Not sure you will have to be quite as quick as those who managed to get an entry to the Melbourne Ironman.
When the RBS Morgans Coles Bay 100 entries open later in the year give yourself at least an hour after it goes on sale, and I think you will still be ok!!? Melbourne sold out in 11 minutes!!
We do have to cap the number in the field so don't leave it too much later or you never know you might miss out!!
The most exciting triathlon of the year held in arguably the most beautiful surrounding in Australia. A 2km swim, 80km ride and 18 km run with the most spectacular back drop you will experience. Coles Bay is situated at the northern edge of the Freycinet National Park. Located 218km north east of Hobart and 202 km south east of Launceston. It is one of the justifiably famous wilderness beauty spots on Tasmania’s east coast.

Accommodation....
As you all know accommodation is very hard to come by in Coles Bay itself. We strongly recommend you try and secure something well before the event.
There is a good range of options on www.colesbay.com.au or try www.freycinetrentals.com or call them on 03 62570 320. If camping is your thing (or only option left) then the Freycinet National Park is your best bet, call them on 03 62567 000.
Bicheno and Swansea have a range of accommodation options if you are happy to travel that little bit further.
