Welcome to the Southern Ports Tour de Esperance 2023!

The TdE has been running for in excess of 10 years and continues to provide a challenging and inclusive opportunity for cyclists to participate in a local racing event.

Whats NEW in 2023 you ask?? We introduce the Community & Corporate Challenge. Replacing the participation ride concept, we're encouraging the community and local businesses to challenge themselves as a team, build camaraderie, dust off the trusty stead and have a go!  There's lots of great prizes to win and of course lots of fun to be had! 

The event this year is hosted 22nd & 23rd April, with a suburban criterium race on Saturday and the town central road race on Sunday morning.

The Community & Corporate Challenge is being held simutaneously on the Sunday morning. 

With ANZAC Day on Tuesday 25th, be sure to book an extra long weekend and head to Esperance for this brilliant country racing event.
