I seem to remember when Global 11 started they were also priced a bit heavier than they are currently - they had very few starters in their 1st year. The numbers have picked up over the years and I am sure I will be one of the starters in November.

 

5150 is starting the same way, I very much doubt whether they will attract more than 200/250 people in their 1st year. The professionals will no doubt be there - their entry fees are most likely sponsored and the prize money is very attractive, but an event can't survive without the maseses.

 

With 95% of the expenses (road closure, refreshments, staff etc) and 95% of the competitors from South Africa why is the entry fees priced in dollars. Can you charge more for a race when you add a $ sign????

 

Like most triathletes I appreciate organisers adding events to the triathlon calender but will probably not enter. We can't expect them to run at a loss, but charging R800 an entry is not the way to do it.
