Event Details:

Get involved in the inaugural Tour of Cowaramup, in support of PCaHelp (Prostate Cancer Help Association Inc.)

The Perth Integrated Events Team (PIET) has been at the forefront for a similar event called the Tour de Gracetown for the past 11 years and in 2024, with the amicable separation in line with how we work with charitable organisations and boards, we have created this event which is unique with features that you will appreciate.

The increased costs over the years also crossing certain intersections such as Caves Road and Bussell Hwy has led us to a blank canvas but one which you will appreciate for the safety that it brings.

Consider the following:
*There will be a signature ride component adjacent to the township of Cowaramup from which the event derives it’s name.
*There will be significant focus towards the support of local business and to promote local tourism within the catchment of Cowaramup.
*All routes are brand new and do not require crossing any major traffic intersections.
*The Event Village activities will all be confined to Juniper Estate.
*There will be 2x water stations available, covering all distances.
*Merchandise is available in conjunction with Blackchrome Cycling.

Grades & Distances:

The event has three ride distances available:
*Gran – 122 km
*Medio – 88 km
* Piccolo – 60 km
