The highly anticipated Bowral Classic cycling Gran Fondo is returning to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales on Sunday, 20 October 2024.<\/p>\n

Early Bird registrations are now open and cycling enthusiasts are encouraged to secure their spot in one of Australia\u2019s premier cycling events.<\/p>\n

A staple on the cycling calendar, the Bowral Classic presents participants with carefully curated courses that showcase the Southern Highlands region\u2019s stunning countryside. There are three road cycling courses on offer ranging from 85km to 150km, all of which pass through the rolling hills and take on the challenging climbs of Bowral, Berrima, Exeter, Robertson and Kangaloon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so excited to have the beautiful Southern Highlands as the backdrop for our flagship Classic event,\u201d said Classics Founder, James Yaffa. \u201cNow in its 8th year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for everyone who has supported and continues to support this event. Your commitment and enthusiasm not only make the Bowral Classic possible but shape a brighter future for cycling and the broader sports events industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attracting thousands of cyclists from across the country and internationally, the Bowral Classic brings in over $3M to the local tourism economy each year.<\/p>\n

Locals are encouraged to get involved with the event by either registering for the ride and enjoying the on-course support, or volunteering over the weekend. Head to\u00a0www.bowralclassic.com.au<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n

The Bowral Classic is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.<\/p>\n
