To ensure the safety of riders, volunteers and spectators there will be some temporary road closures in Augusta and Margaret River between Thursday 16 October to Sunday 19 October 2025. Local resident detours and access will be in place. We kindly ask drivers to be patient and allow extra travel time as there may be delays.
