Welcome

to the eighth annual Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling This exclusive sporting event has become the premier one-day cycling competition on the USA Cycling National Racing Calendar. The much anticipated day of fast-paced action draws many world-class professionals, as well as talented amateur cyclists, to compete with our beautiful coastal city as the backdrop.

The event, which is coordinated by the Dana Point Community Cycling Foundation, offers something for the whole family. In addition to the competition on the race course there will also be a Kids’ Zone with games, food, face-painting and other fun activities as well as a bicycle safety course.

Also returning for its second year, the Cycle de Mayo Street Festival will offer music, craft beer, a variety of cuisine, a vendor expo zone and more.

Every year this event draws bigger crowds so plan on arriving early for the best viewing areas. With multiple race classes from amateur to professional, the action throughout the day is non-stop. There are also special races for kids, which are always crowd pleasers.

The DPCCF advocates the safe use of bicycles as an alternate mode of transportation, promotes cycling for fun and sport and educates the public about the joys of riding. The organization also highlights the health benefits for all riders, regardless of age, in order to support active and healthy lifestyles for youth and adults.

Giving back to the community is important to the DPCCF and the event raises money to support local charities and increase the awareness of the long-term benefits of cycling starting at a young age.

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.

For action, excitement and family-friendly fun, the 2014 Dana Point Grand Prix of Cycling is just the ticket. Race entry fees are waived for kids and roadside viewing of all the day’s action is also free.
