Discover the Stages
Women's Hyundai Stage 3 - Norwood to Campbelltown, 126.5km: Monday 19 January 2026 - 11.10am
Stage 3 of the women’s race marks an exciting milestone as it starts in Norwood for the very first time.
Riders will take on a spectacular route through the picturesque Adelaide Hills, showcasing towns like Gumeracha, Birdwood, Mount Torrens, and Lobethal, before climbing through Lenswood and up the challenging Fox Creek ascent.
A major highlight of the stage is the double ascent of the infamous Corkscrew Road—an unprecedented feature in the history of both the men’s and women’s Santos Tour Down Under.
The stage concludes on Maryvale Road, adjacent to the oval, offering fans an exciting and scenic vantage point to witness a dramatic finish.
Men's Health Partners Stage 2 - Norwood to Uraidla, 148.1km: Thursday 22 January 2026 - 11.10am.
Starting in crowd-favourite Norwood, the race ascends Norton Summit to the first KOM at Ashton before heading past Cleland, into Crafers, and through Uraidla. After Lenswood and Lobethal, the real challenge begins with two brutal ascents of the iconic Corkscrew Road.
This year, riders won’t descend into Campbelltown—instead, they’ll turn left at the top and continue climbing Montacute Road before looping back through Uraidla for a final lap. With steeper gradients than Willunga Hill, the Corkscrew and extended climb offer a prime chance for aggressive racing. The stage finishes in Uraidla’s lively main street.
