sport information

The Cycling Road Race will be contested on a fully closed-road circuit within Kings Park and Botanic Garden.

Riders will complete nine (9) laps of a 6.2 km course for a total race distance of 55.8 km.

Insurance Advisory and Assumption of Risk

Participation in cycling events carries an inherent risk of injury. All athletes are strongly advised to hold valid and adequate cycle racing–specific insurance appropriate to the nature and level of competition.

Athletes should carefully review the terms of any existing medical or travel insurance policy, as many travel insurance policies specifically exclude cycle racing events unless an additional cover option has been purchased.

In the absence of adequate insurance coverage, the athlete accepts sole responsibility for all costs and expenses arising from any cycling related injury or illness, including but not limited to medical treatment, hospitalisation, ambulance transport, rehabilitation, and any incidental or associated expenses, whether incurred before, during, or after competition.

Event Entry Deadline: Sunday, 28 February 2027

Event Cost: USD $60 per individual

events & divisions

format

Competition Format

Multiple age divisions will compete at the same time in a combined field. Although athletes race together, results will be separated by age division and gender.

Age divisions will be identified by coloured, numbered bibs to allow clear differentiation during competition. All riders will be issued a timing chip; however, results and placings will be determined by camera finish to ensure accuracy.

awards

Medals are awarded to athletes placing first through third in each division.

Awards ceremonies will be conducted at scheduled intervals throughout the competition, at the venue.

equipment

All bicycles and equipment must comply with current Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Regulations for mass-start road races. Riders must use a standard road bike in safe working order, fitted with functioning brakes and without any unauthorised technical modifications; helmets must be approved and worn at all times while riding. The organisers and appointed commissaires may conduct pre-race and/or post-race checks, and any athlete whose equipment is deemed non-compliant or unsafe may be required to rectify the issue before starting or may be withdrawn from the event.
