The Port Douglas Gran Fondo is coming to the region, delivering up to $5 million into the local economy with a variety of cycling courses and Festival events.
Riders will race along the Great Barrier Reef Drive between Port Douglas and Palm Cove, and celebrate their achievements with other events across the Festival weekend including the Cairns Post Criterium, Hemingway’s Brewery Sprint, Choo Choos FREE Family Ride, Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina Festival Expo, local live music and after party!
Event organisers understand that road closures impact the local community, Cairns Airport transfers, tourism operators, travelling tourists, businesses and all road users.
Their aim is to minimise this impact as much as possible and ensure we open roads on schedule.
