COPPER COAST CUP - OCTOBER 7TH/8TH
Rounds 4&5 of the 2023 Cervelo Super Series sees us heading back Wallaroo and Moonta for the fan favourite Copper Coast Cup double header weekend on the 7th and 8th of October! Proudly supported by the Copper Coast Council, this is one of the best weekends of racing you can get here in SA, and as always, we're very much looking forward to the Yorke Peninsula getaway!
NEW ROAD RACE COURSE FOR 2023 - After an unexpected, last-minute setback with the previously used course at Wallaroo for day 1 of the Copper Coast Cup, we have come up with a new course to be raced! The Kadina Airfield Road Race is a shorter lap with a designated event area in the Kadina Airfield, supported by the Copper Coast Council.
The 10km lap is about 90% gravel, with all of that gravel wide, hard-packed roads that are similar to, if not better than, Wallaroo Plains Rd in the previously used course. The final 1km of each lap is sealed leading in to the Finish line, and each race will start from the event area inside the Airfield.
Day Two of the Copper Coast Cup is continuing to build on the successes we have seen in recent years. After the positive feedback to adding another block to the Queen Square crit circuit last year, we're taking to the same course again which really mixed up the results from the shorter, one block crit of the past.

You'll want to stay up in the Copper Coast Region for this weekend, at least on the Saturday night if you're racing both days! Why not make a weekend of it, bring the family up and head out to one of the local tourist attractions while you're up here?
