Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race

**We are looking for experienced Operation Crew members**

**Event Summary**

**Inspired by Europe’s prestigious one-day classics, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is the first of its kind in Australia. It’s been rapidly embraced at a local and international level as an outstanding competition and spectator experience.**

The event immediately became part of Australian cycling history as it marked Cadel Evans’ final professional race. Spectators took to the streets of Geelong in 2015 for the last chance to see Australia’s most decorated cyclist compete.

Despite a courageous race Cadel finished fifth, which was testament to the inaugural event’s ability to attract the top-ranking teams and riders.

In 2016, Cadel returned but this time he joined thousands of cycling enthusiasts in the TAC People’s Ride, where thousands of participants of all ages and abilities take part in one of the most scenic rides in the world. Prior to the big event is the VEGEMITE® Family Ride, a chance to introduce the next generation to the joy of bike riding in a safe and fun environment.

The elite men’s road race reached the pinnacle of world cycling when it was elevated on to the UCI WorldTour calendar in 2017.

In 2020, the Deakin University Elite Women’s Road Race was too sanctioned as annual event on the UCI Women’s WorldTour calendar.

As long-time supporters of gender equality, we are proud to award equal prize money for both the elite men’s and women’s races, and continue to support road safety, active living and health education in our community.
