NCC is proud to be running the 51st consecutive Tour of the Riverland. This years edition will feature The Barry Skinner Classic Handicap, the opening round of the 2025 AusCycling Bikechain J19 Road Series, a three stage Junior Tour, and the 2025 Club Senior Criterium Championships.

We are proud to continue the legacy of this race, which is only possible due the generosity of our sponsors including, and in particular the Berri Hotel and Cervelo Australia - out long term major sponsors of the event. We'd also like to acknowledge our supporting sponsors Kensington Estate Wines, MAAP, Villawood Properties, Associated Roof Tiling and Adelaide Bike Fit.

We would also like to acknowledge the huge amount of effort put in by our volunteers and AusCycling to ensure that races like this continue to happen.

Volunteers

Like every race, from your local club crit to the Tour de France, we rely on an army of Volunteers to help make things happen on the day.

If you, or a friend or family can help out, we would be appreciative. We know some of these jobs can be thankless but the more hands we have the easier things are.

Volunteers who do more than one session will be provided with lunch.
