Sponsors

The PowerNet Tour of Southland cycle race receives excellent support and cooperation from a huge range of sponsors, funders, organisations and volunteers.

For one week a year, all Tour supporters join together with a single cause - to produce the most professional, safe and hospitable multi-staged cycle race in New Zealand. The tremendous community support that is traditionally offered to the Tour of Southland is instrumental to the ongoing success of this proud Southland sporting occasion.

Businesses and funding organisations are obviously essential to the success of the Tour - without funding the event would not be possible. A range of sponsorship options and special awards are available to anyone interested in joining the "Tour family".
