Noosa Triathlon 2011 Entry Ballots to Open November 1, 2010

With the ongoing development of the Noosa Triathlon, their new ballot system now enables them to streamline their online technology and registration process and provide a better fairer online experience.

To meet the growing demand, the Noosa Triathlon has adopted the best registration processes used by other world class events with a new technology platform implemented.

USM EVENTS have been working with the Sunshine Coast Council and Queensland Government to make more transition area. This has been successful, and therefore we will have significant growth in competitor numbers going forward.
