The Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race also known as Great Ocean Road Race or Cadel Road Race is an annual professional one-day
In November 2020, it was announced that the 2021 race would not be held due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. This was due in part to a number of UCI WorldTour teams making the decision to stay in Europe due to uncertainty around international travel conditions and logistics of quarantine requirements.[4]
The event returned in January 2023, featuring on both the men's and women's World Tour calendars.[5]
Course
The men's version is 176 km (109 mi), while the women's is 143 km (89 mi). In 2023, the mass participation People's Ride includes three distance options—35km, 50km, or 125km.[6]
