Individual entries have sold out for this year’s Noosa Triathlon after the iconic event was cancelled last year due to the threat of COVID-19.
The last batch of allocations have been quickly snapped up by triathletes from across Australia and New Zealand.
More than 9000 competitors will converge for the 38th running of the event.
The festival of events is set to be held between October 27-31, with the marquee standard distance triathlon to take place on the last day of the festival.

“The Noosa Triathlon is an iconic event on both the Noosa calendar and the Australian sporting calendar, and we’re thrilled with how quickly the remaining entries went,” IRONMAN Group Oceania Regional Director Rob Stalling said.
“From talking with our athletes we know they’re all ready to be back in Noosa not only testing themselves in the race but enjoying everything the region has to offer.
“We have a mixture of athletes who were registered to compete in the 2020 event that couldn’t take place due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and those who claimed their spot on the start line today, and we can’t wait to see them all in October.
“The Noosa Triathlon injects more than $25 million a year into the region, with more than 30,000 people making their way to Noosa as either an athlete, spectator, volunteer or a part of the event team,” he said.

“It’s great that we’re in the position here in Queensland where we can plan for a Noosa Triathlon with all of the elements that athletes and spectators have come to love over the years.”
While the iconic Noosa Triathlon has now sold out there are still entries available in the Teams category and over the coming months entries will open to the other smaller Festival Events.
