The 2026 Santos Tour Down Under is travelling through the Hills again this January, and Adelaide Hills Council are hosting the Men's Stage 5 start and finish in Stirling on Sunday 25th January.
At nearly 170 kilometres this is among the longest closing stages in Santos Tour Down Under history, chosen by race director Stuart O’Grady OAM to keep the world’s best working strategically until the very last moment.
We’ll see a two-kilometre climb on approach to Stirling, sprints in Heathfield and a weary winner emerge after a huge day in the saddle.
Stirling Finish
The leafy township of Stirling welcomes visitors to watch the final Men's stage as riders complete eight loops through the Adelaide Hills.
With entertainment, children’s activities and food and drinks, come along and watch the race start and finish.
Race Start 11:10am
Race Finish 3:26pm
Spectators with special needs and families with very young children are welcome to contact Council to reserve a spot in the Adelaide Hills finish line marquee – just email us at events@ahc.sa.gov.au
Mylor Live Site
Spectators can also watch the race at the Live Site at Mylor Oval. Watch the race on a large screen, follow the action and watch the race go past you in real time. Food and drinks will be available, while the Caravan Sounds DJ will keep the energy high with great tunes, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Whether you're with friends, family, or cheering solo, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the thrill of the race in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your picnic rug and chairs, settle in, and enjoy the excitement of the event at your own pace.
