Welcome to the 7th Annual Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling

OFFICIAL EVENT GUIDE Presented by

n behalf of the city of Dana Point and the

Dana Point Community Cycling Foundation, I am proud to announce that the 7th annual Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling is the larg-

est single-day criterium race on the USA Cycling National Racing Calendar, a series of exclusive events representing the best of bicycle racing in America’s fi nest cities.

In addition to the exciting cycling compe-tition the Grand Prix includes a Kids’ Zone, food, games, vendors and new this year, the Dana Point Street Fair.

The Street Fair will add some fun along the race course—from Old Golden Lantern to Heritage Park—with a Cinco de Mayo cel-ebration of tasty food, craft beer and music.

The Grand Prix brings fast-paced action through the scenic Santa Clara neighbor-hood and along Del Prado. With 12 races throughout the day—including youth fun rides, amateur and professional races—cy-clists of all ages and levels will race through the heart of Dana Point. It is both thrilling to participate and to watch as racers compete for prizes and glory.

My favorite part of the day is watching the kids’ races. The free races begin at 11:50 a.m. and are organized by age group. Kids

can register on race-day beginning at 8 a.m. Don’t forget, riders must wear helmets. Youth participants receive a free T-shirt and a medal at the fi nish line. Professional cy-clists ride alongside the older kids, teaching them technical racing skills through turns and straightaways.

The Kids Zone—sponsored by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley—will include bike safety presentations, games, prizes and fun surprises.

The DPCCF advocates the safe use of bicycles as an alternate mode of transporta-tion, promotes cycling for fun and sport, and through the Grand Prix, introduces kids to the joys and benefi ts of cycling as part of a healthy, active lifestyle. We are delighted to continue partnering with sponsors and local organizations such as the Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley and the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group to host this great event and raise money for outstanding charities.

For action, excitement and family-friendly fun, join us at the 2013 Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling. For more information, visit www.danapointgrandprix.com, or follow on Twitter @DPGP and Facebook at www.facebook/DanaPointGrandPrix.
