SAVE THE DATE: June 25th, 2011

The Glencoe Educational Foundation is pleased to once again announce the return of the Glencoe Grand Prix presented by AT&T. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the race that, for the first time, is part of USA Cycling's prestigious National Racing Calendar. The series includes the top races around the United States and is the top circuit for the U.S based professional cycling teams.

In addition, the GEF is pleased to announce the GGP has been awarded the Illinois State Criterium Championship. This is the first time the race will be held in Glencoe. Previously, the race was held in Peoria, IL.

Steve Hansen, President of the Illinois Cycling Association commented "The Illinois Cycling Association is very excited to award the 2011 Illinois Criterium Championship to the Glencoe Grand Prix presented by AT&T. The Glencoe Grand Prix has quickly become one of the top races in the region and will once again bring out the best racers to compete on a tough course. The ICA looks forward to seeing our Illinois riders giving it their all to win the criterium championship jersey at this year's event"

The event will include a full day of amateur racing, finishing with the Men's Pro race beginning at 6:00 P.M. The traditional kids races (ages 4 - 9) will be held at noon and after the pro race be sure to stick around for live music, food and the Goose Island beer garden. There will be plenty of activities for the whole family throughout the day. For more information, check out the race website at www.glencoegrandprix.com.
