Marketing Reach
Cycling is one of the highest participation sports in the United Sates with over 4.1 million annual participants. Cycling feeds the growing desire to stay younger and healthier throughout life.
Riding is a “green” sport. Cyclists are more affluent, better educated and more technically savvy than their counterparts. Criterium racing provides the excitement of NASCAR with closer access to racers and at more cost effective levels.
Sponsors receive direct access to over 600 race entrants and over 3000 spectators and walk-ins at CGP, beyond social, print, and radio media received by Tens of Thousands in the lead up to the event.

Expo Dollars
Carlsbad, CA is striving to attain a Bicycle Friendly Community designation from the League of American Cyclists. They have installed or are installing 100 bike racks throughout the village.
The backing of the town event planning commission and police is secured for the CGP. The application to receive guaranteed grants from the city is secured.
This is a sponsorship driven event; not a race or event entry fee driven event. The sponsorship dollars will cover operating cost on a non-profit basis with overages allocated to our designated beneficiaries.
