United Energy Around The Bay 2026

Port Phillip Bay forms the large loop, with Featherbrook Community Centre and Featherbrook Reserve in Point Cook providing a practical, community focus at the local end of the day. United Energy Around The Bay 2026 marks the 32nd occasion of this "iconic event." It is primarily a cycling ride rather than a footrace, possessing the atmosphere of a well-attended morning where participants understand the purpose of their presence. The routes incorporate significant landmarks: West Gate Bridge, Beach Road, the St-Kilda foreshore, Arthurs Seat, The Esplanade in Mt Martha, Albert Park, and one option even begins in Geelong. Participants will include families, teenagers, club cyclists, adults, primary school children, and seniors, all sharing the same event day. Bicycle Network will provide support for riders navigating the bay, and for those finishing at Albert Park, the setting offers a "picturesque backdrop of the city skyline."
