Bowral Classic coming soon

The 8th annual Bowral Classic Cycling Gran Fondo is returning to the Southern Highlands of NSW on Sunday, 20 October.

Close to 3,000 riders are registered for the 2024 event with the Maxi distance of 150km almost sold old. Participants travel from across Australia and internationally from nine different countries, including Japan, the USA, the UK, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Denmark, Norway and New Zealand to ride one of the three road cycling courses.

Cyclists will take on one of three courses ranging from 85km to 150km. All routes have been designed to highlight the best of the region’s rolling hills and breathtaking views, with riders passing through the quaint country towns of Berrima, Moss Vale, Bundanoon, Fitzroy Falls, Robertson and Glenquarry.

In a special appearance, the Bowral Classic will welcome Australian Olympian, Connor Leahy, to the event. Leahy, a recent gold medallist in track cycling at the Paris Olympics, will be riding in the 150km Maxi Classic course before participating in a Q&A and meet-and-greet with fans at the Event Village.

All are welcome to join in on the Event Village festivities between 10:00am – 4:00pm on Sunday, 20 October at Loseby Park, Bowral. In addition to Leahy’s appearance, spectators can cheer on the riders as they pass through the finish line, enjoy live music, a selection of local bars, food trucks, children’s activities and cycling exhibitor stalls.

The Bowral Classic continues to bring significant economic benefits to the Southern Highlands region. Once again in 2024, accommodation in the region is close to capacity and local businesses such as wineries, restaurants, bars, pubs and shops will be filled with visitors.  

The Bowral Classic is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.

The Bowral Classic is part of The Classics series by Bicycling Australia. Over the last eight years, we have proudly hosted Gran Fondo Cycling events in three states and continue to deliver the Bowral Classic and Mudgee Classic events.

Registrations close on Sunday, 13 October 2024. Don’t miss out.
