Why We're Pumped for Ballarat 2024

  • Time Trials (Jan 3-4): Kick off with the time trials at Federation University’s scenic Mt Helen Campus. It's where speed meets strategy, and our cyclists shine.

  • Criteriums in the Heart of Ballarat (Jan 5): Feel the rush in Ballarat’s CBD. Cyclists will be zooming up and down Sturt Street – it's fast, it's furious, and it's fantastic!

  • The Big Buninyong Weekend (Jan 6-7): The road races take over Buninyong with a live site on Mount Buninyong. Think food, tunes, and all the cycling action on a big screen. It's the place to be!
