In 2024, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is thrilled to feature mid-week races for both Men’s and Women’s teams, held across separate days for the first time.
Kicking off festivities on Wednesday 24 January, the Geelong Classic will follow a criterium format with the Elite Women set to race 25 laps of a 2km circuit around the Geelong Botanical Gardens and Waterfront.
The twilight race offers a small climb each lap that will make for dynamic and aggressive racing, and the circuit will offer multiple viewing locations for spectators to enjoy the action.
Held on the following day, Thursday 25 January, the Surf Coast Classic will see the elite men’s teams race from Lorne to Torquay and has been granted a 1.1 classification under UCI sanctioning.
