The 2026 Melbourne to Warrnambool and Women’s Warrnambool Cycling Classic, set to run on Saturday February 14 and Sunday February 15, have now been rescheduled, taking place two weeks later than originally planned.
Last week organisers announced that the event was under review, with the impact of a bushfire in the Otways having already led to the cancellation of the 1.Pro-ranked men’s and women’s Surf Coast Cycling Classic. The solution put in place has been to change the date of the event, due to deliver the second round of the ProVelo Super League for 2026, to February 28 and March 1.
“The rescheduling was a necessary response due to the impacts of the Otway’s region bushfires,” said organisers in a statement. “The Committee would like to acknowledge the support of emergency services in working with Event organisers to reschedule this iconic event on the cycling calendar.”
“The event will take place as programmed – there are no changes to courses or timings at this time,” said organisers.
