Glenelg to host women's TDU stage start this weekend

Glenelg will host the first race for the women in the 2023 Santos Tour Down Under - the first ever UCI Women's WorldTour stage race in the southern hemisphere.

The cyclists will converge on Colley Terrace on Sunday 15 January 2023 for Ziptrak® Stage 1: Glenelg to Aldinga.

The Tour Parade will arrive at Glenelg at 10am followed by the cyclists at 10.30am.

The race starts at 11.30am from Colley Terrace, with the riders travelling along Jetty Road before turning right onto Brighton Road. They'll then take on the 110km route to Aldinga.

Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing Katrine Hildyard said that having elite female cyclists compete in world class competition on new routes is brilliant for riders and fans.

"Each stage provides opportunities for local fans to enjoy the action and see their heroines racing in a world-class event on home soil," Ms Hildyard said.

Jetty Road, Glenelg will be closed to traffic until approximately 2pm on Sunday 15 January, along with Colley Terrace, Augusta Street and Hope Street.
