The Tour Down Under has a companion event, the ''Be Active Tour''. This is one of Australia's fastest growing recreational events, held over the route the professionals race later in the day. The inaugural event in 2003 was known as the Breakaway Tour and attracted more than 600 riders. In 2004 riders increased to 1,400 and the event was known on as the Be Active Tour. The 2005 tour saw more than 1,900 riders leave Salisbury, Williamstown and Angaston in 30 degrees to tackle the hills and roads of stage 2. In 2006, riders rode 154 km from Strathalbyn to Yankalilla in the low 40s. The heat took its toll on riders and a heat policy now exists.
In 2007 the name changed again to Mutual Community Challenge Tour and it was joined by the Mutual Community Fun Tour and Powerade mini-tour for children. The new events are to increase the popularity of the event and attract people who do not ride regularly.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tourdownunder.com.au/node/9 |title=Mutual Community Challenge Tour |accessdate=2007-01-16 |publisher=Tour Down Under |archiveurl

==Traddodiadau==
One tradition of the Tour Down Under is that the fans choose an unknown rider and treat him the way they would a star, by mobbing him at hotels and painting his name on the road. The rider must be a non-english speaking domestique who most likely will not get a start at a major race and will simply act as a bottle carrier.<ref>[http://www.pacc.org.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2337&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Port Adelaide CC Forum "Operation: Support Obscure TDU Pro"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303194040/http://www.pacc.org.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2337&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= |date=2016-03-03 }}.
