Formerly known as the Tat200, the Tatura Pedal & Steps Charity Run, Ride & Walk returns Saturday, October 18, continuing a proud tradition that has raised more than $1M for local organisations since its inception in 2008.
A key feature of the event is the 120km cycling route from Tatura to Nagambie, which takes riders along Murchison-Tatura Road. Safety on this stretch has long been a concern, with several large sections of potholes impacting motorists and cyclists. These areas are now being progressively repaired ahead of the event, following calls from residents, leaders and organisers for improvements.
“We sincerely appreciate the attention of the Shepparton Council on road safety and their engagement with the State Government so far to repair some of the critical sections of the Tatura Pedal and Steps 120km route,” said Hamish Reid, Executive General Manager of Tatura Milk Industries/Bega Group.
“The safety and wellbeing of all participants in the event is critically important to us.”
