It’s so exciting to have the Tour Down Under returning to the Port this year.
After experiencing an extremely warm welcome with the start of Stage One in Port Adelaide last year, Tour Down Under is returning on Tuesday 15 January 2019, this time to close out Stage One. Riders will cycle a modified 129km route, departing at 11am from O’Connell Street in North Adelaide and arriving at the finish line on St Vincent Street at around 2.15pm (we recommend arriving earlier so you don’t miss the fun.)
We love a party in the Port and so City of Port Adelaide Enfield will be showing visitors a good time with Peloton in the Port an array of fun events and activities to keep the crowds entertained once the race is finished.
