O F F I C I A L E V E N T G U I D E

We are proud to once again put on this event raising both awareness and money for outstanding local charities.

What began back in 2007 as the Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling has become recognized as one of the nation’s largest single-day professional criterium bicycle races. Now spread over two days, these races are offi cially sanctioned by USA Cy-cling as part of their National Pro Road Tour calendar—the men’s classic PRT is slated for 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 30. These races will see top criterium talents and amateurs alike compete in the city’s newly-completed downtown Lantern District on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1.

This year we have expanded the Grand Prix to include fun and competitive par-ticipatory events that are geared toward increasing the health conscientiousness and activeness of participants. With local athletes seeking a unique experience to add to their repertoire of events, we’ve added a challenging running event, the Killer Cove 5K, to Saturday’s event lineup. We hope this event, too, becomes a Dana Point tradition.

On Sunday, our most popular riders hit the closed-circuit course. Around noon, area youth are invited to participate in free bike events hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley. Registration opens
