Can I be skeptical here? 500 unpaid confirmed entries sounds like quite a lot for an entry of 2000, seems to me that they're lighting a match under a whole bunch of hype over nothing. Doesn't hurt to get the event sold out early when you're trying to hook a big sponsor (most of whom will already have closed their budgets for 2014 by now).

Can anybody advise on good accomodation (close by thats still available?)

Try the Town Lodge, Beach Hotel or a guest house in 2nd Ave Summerstrand. Those all within 500m of the Start/Finish.

 

Anywhere in Summerstrand is a winner as well.

Not really, last week there were 800. They are selling about 100 entries a day for an event that has never sold out. As it already stands this would be a record field.

 

The previous sponsor actually paid a portion of the entry so technically this year is almost twice as expensive than last.
