Entries for South Africa’s favourite team road race, the Coronation Double Century, will kick off on Monday, 13 August 2018. This iconic event is now in its 26th year and entries are, much like the past few years, bound to sell out in minutes.

Entries will run on the same three-tiered entry process introduced in 2017. The event will once again take place on the spectacular 202km route around the Overberg, starting and finishing in Swellendam.
The 2018 event will run on Saturday, 24 November 2018 when 245 teams of up to 12 riders will challenge the clock.
