Early Bird registrations are now open for one of Australia’s biggest and most-loved cycling Gran Fondos – the Bowral Classic.
Returning for the seventh year to the Southern Highlands, the Bowral Classic will be held over two days on the weekend of 21-22 October, 2023.
The event weekend will start with a bang on Saturday, 21 October with ‘The Crit’ – a criterium race around Loseby Park in the heart of Bowral. Cyclists will duke it out for a share in more than $4,000 worth of prizes and the glory of being crowned the King and Queen of The Crit.
The road rides will return on Sunday, 22 October with three courses to choose from, the 85km Rouleurs Classic, the 120km Challenge Classic and the big one, the 150km Maxi Classic.
Starting on Bong Bong St, Bowral and finishing at Loesby Park, these courses have been selected to showcase the best of the region as they pass through the rolling hills of Berrima, Moss Vale, Bundanoon, Fitzroy Falls, Robertson and Kangaloon.
The Bowral Classic is offering a refreshing approach to event fundraising with individual riders and teams raising money for whichever charity they wish to support. Since the inaugural Bowral Classic event in 2016, the Classics events have raised over $400,000 for charities across Australia.
A staple on the cycling calendar, the Bowral Classic attracts cyclists and their families from across the country and brings in over $3M to the local tourism economy each year.
Locals are encouraged to get involved with the event through either registering for the ride and enjoying the on-course support, or volunteering over the weekend. Head to www.bowralclassic.com.au/community for more information.
The Bowral Classic is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
