It takes a village to bring the Santos Tour Down Under to life, and we couldn't do it without our incredible volunteers 🧡

As National Volunteer Week wraps up, we're giving a massive shout out to each person who generously gives their time, energy and passion to support the event year after year.

This year, we are excited to announce and celebrate our two major award winners:

🏆 Volunteer of the Year: Greet Kempenaers
Greet has been an invaluable part of our volunteer family since 2019, bringing dedication and smiles to the race for over half a decade. Thank you, Greet, for everything you do!

🏆 Traffic Marshal of the Year: Debra Sutton-Smith
Over the past three years, Deb has done an amazing job recruiting members from the VIEW Clubs to join us as street marshals. Not only does her incredible work keep our race safe, but it also helps raise valuable funds for The Smith Family along the way.

Huge congratulations to the town of Brukunga, our 2026 Santos Best Dressed Town Overall Gold winner!

Last week, we were joined by Mount Barker District Council Mayor David Leach to officially present their awards. Using sustainable, recycled, and hand-made elements – from repurposed coffee pot planters to a striking bike sculpture crafted from salvaged Cudlee Creek bushfire timber – the town's creativity shone, making them a truly deserving overall Gold winner.

Well done to the Brukunga Community Association Inc. and the Mount Barker District Council for showing us all what incredible community spirit looks like! 🥇
