January 23, 2020
The Tour of the Southern Highlands Stage Race (ToSH) confirms Jakroo Custom Apparel as exclusive apparel sponsor for 4th consecutive year.
The ToSH is the only Pro/Am stage race east of the Rockies that doubles as a Junior National selection race. The race draws more than 500 pro/elite, masters and amateurs for up to three days of racing and boasts more than $12,000 dollars in cash and prizes. ToSH also offers young athletes a chance for selection to represent the United States on an international stage.
“Jakroo has been the exclusive ToSH apparel sponsor for the past three years and we’re excited to continue our partnership,” said Race Director, Nathan O’Neill. “Throughout my years of racing, I’ve worn many apparel brands and Jakroo is one of the best in multiple ways. They provide top-notch customer service and support through the design and order process, and a superior product. Couple that with a two week turn-around, and you have an unbeatable combination for a custom apparel company.”
Racing begins Friday, Feb 28, 2020, with a championship length, individual time trial for Pro/Elite men, women and elite juniors. (An open, non-stage race, community category is available for any athletes interested in testing themselves against the clock). Elite & Pro racing continues in downtown Woodstock with a Friday night twilight criterium. On Saturday, Amateurs and Masters join the stage race with a fast, rolling circuit race, in downtown Ballground. All racing concludes Sunday, with a challenging road race through the Highlands, surrounding Ballground.

The Tour of the Southern Highlands with their stage race format of TT, criterium, and road races provides a great launch pad for the 2020 cycling season. The events are exciting, the courses challenging, and I look forward to race announcing the up and coming juniors as well as the established pros trying to start their season with victories,” said Andreu, who has been involved in directing professional race teams and announcing events, since retiring from professional cycling.
