Organisers of the Bowral Classic are truly saddened to announce the 2020 event has been cancelled.

This decision has not been made lightly and the event is another casualty of the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We have followed the advice of NSW Health and the Australian Government and feel it is only fair to their loyal rider community to act decisively and offer as much notice as possible.

All riders will automatically be transferred to next year’s Bowral Classic to be held on Sunday, 17 October 2021. No further action is required. If riders cannot make the new date, they are able to request a refund. Please visit the Cancellation FAQs page for more information.

The Bowral Classic is a road cycling event that takes place in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW. The ride incorporates four routes, extending from Bowral to Berrima, Exeter, Fitzroy Falls, Robertson and Kangaloon.

The centre of activity on the day will be the Bowral Classic event village at Eridge Park, Burradoo. Please come along and cheer the riders as they cross the finish line during the day.

The Event Village will be open from 1pm-4pm on Saturday, 16 October 2021 for some riders to collect their registration kits. Limited stalls will be open on the Saturday. The full Event Village will be open Sunday, 17 October 2021 from 10am-4pm and will include live music, a bar, children’s activities, cycling exhibitors and more.

Riders from all over Australia have registered for the event. Many will be staying in the Southern Highlands over the weekend boosting tourism and bringing considerable economic benefits to the local region.
